About the Author:
From Publishers Weekly:
Steve Martini is the author of numerous New York Times bestsellers, including The Enemy Inside, Trader of Secrets, The Rule of Nine, Guardian of Lies, Shadow of Power, Double Tap, and others featuring defense attorney Paul Madriani. Martini has practiced law in California in both state and federal courts and has served as an administrative law judge and supervising hearing officer. He lives in the Pacific Northwest.
Bestseller Martini's entertaining ninth Paul Madriani legal thriller (after 2005's Double Tap) offers an improbable if intriguing premise. San Diego, Calif., attorney Madriani and Harry Hinds, his longtime partner, agree to represent Carl Arnsberg, a racist facing execution for the bludgeoning-by-hammer murder of author Terry Scarborough, whose nonfiction bestseller, Perpetual Slaves, has actually led to riots in the streets. Scarborough focused the U.S. public on the retention in the Constitution of offensive language defining African-Americans as three-fifths human, despite subsequent amendments overriding those statements. He intended to follow Perpetual Slaves with a sequel that would reveal the existence of a secret letter written by Thomas Jefferson whose contents Scarborough believed would prove even more incendiary. Madriani and his team race frantically to trace a copy of that letter, which disappeared from the victim's briefcase at about the time of his murder. Compelling courtroom scenes, which display a sophisticated knowledge of legal trench warfare, compensate for some less-than-credible plot twists. (May)

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Murder reaches deep into the halls of the U.S. Supreme Court in this latest thriller featuring defense attorney Paul Madriani, now published by William Morrow Controversial law professor Terry Scarborough rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. With the publication of his new book--which claimed that the U.S. Constitution and some lost writings of Thomas Jefferson supported racial discrimination--he only added fuel to the fire. When he's found beaten to death in a San Diego hotel room and a young man with connections to neo-Nazis is charged with first-degree murder, defense attorney Paul Madriani eagerly signs on to the case. The passionate and wily litigator believes it isn't just about power and race. He's betting there's a deeper mystery to this defendant--and that he may be just as much a victim as the deceased. Amid the glare of cameras and the jeers of protesters, Madriani buckles down, digging deep to find the evidence he needs to unlock the truth. And no one will stand in his way--not an officer of the U.S. government or a sitting Supreme Court justice. Some people will do anything to influence the Supreme Court. They will sweet-talk, sway and seduce. They will beg, borrow or steal. But will they kill? Terry Scarborough is a legal scholar and a provocateur who loves the kinds of controversy that make headlines. With his new book—which claims that the U.S. Constitution and some recently discovered writtings of Thomas Jefferson support racial discrimination—he knows he's adding fuel to the fire. When he is found beaten to death in a San Diego hotel room and a young man with connections to hate groups is charged with first-degree murder, defense attorney Paul Madriani is offered a case he can't pass up. Amid the glare of cameras and the jeers of protesters, Madriami pursues an exclusive witness within the clositered confines of the Supreme Court itself, a search that threatens to rock the very foundation of the federal government. Shadow of Power is the electrifying new novel from a master at the top of his game. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
