Large Print---- In his latest outing, attorney Paul Madriani is faced with arcane ballistics evidence: two tightly grouped bullet wounds to a victim's head that can only have been made bya a crack marksman--the so-called double tap. His client is a career soldier who refuses to talk about his past, though clearly he is a battle-tested pro. The victim was an alluring businesswoman whose software empire catered to the military. The most damning evidence is the murder weapon: a handgun used solely in special operations where the double tap is the trademark of skilled assassins. In a courtroom battle where every witness can hide behind "national security," information is power and digital information is absolute power.
