Superstar crime novelist Linda Fairstein says, “Take it from a prosecutor—Steve Martini has created one of the most charismatic defense attorneys in thriller fiction,” referring to Martini’s fearless yet very human series protagonist, defense attorney Paul Madriani.

From the Back Cover

Defense attorney Paul Madriani is embroiled in a case as perilous as any he has ever faced, one that involves an angry killer who will stop at nothing short of vengeance, and, the other, two missing NASA scientists who are holding secrets that a government desperately wants to purchase—in blood if they must.

Madriani’s daughter narrowly evades the man known as Liquida, who has stalked her across the country. Meanwhile, in California, two men argue over millions in cash and a scheme involving government technology-for-sale that could rock the world.

Paul Madriani, his companion Joselyn Cole, and his law partner Harry Hinds begin to track Liquida and a missing scientist across the globe, and find themselves falling into a vortex of international terror. They must find the men before they can unleash a weapon of mass destruction that will set the world ablaze.
