The Attorney Mass market paperbound - 2001
by Steve Martini
Defense attorney and sleuth Paul Madriani is back, and on his most challenging case in this riveting new legal thriller by the author of "The Judge" and "Undue Influence". A drug-addicted mother goes up against her daughter's newly rich grandfather in a contentious custody case that leads to criminal accusations -- and ultimately murder.
Summary
Having moved to San Diego to be closer to the woman in his life, Madriani takes on the case of Jonah Hale, an elderly man in terrible straits. As a result of their only child Jessica's longtime drug addiction, Jonah and his wife have been raising their eight-year-old granddaughter, Amanda. On the heels of Jonah's multimillion-dollar state lottery win, Jessica revives her interest in mothering. When Jonah won't deal--maternal rights for a mega-bucks payoff--Jessica plays dirty: she accuses the old man of having sexually abused her as a child and similarly abusing Amanda now.
Enter Zo Suade--a flamboyant, feminist activist with a penchant for making the objects of custody battles and their mother/plaintiffs "disappear." True to form, a week after Zo takes on Jessica's case, mother and daughter vanish. When Zo's body turns up, Jonah becomes the prime suspect. And Madriani is the man who can prove his innocence.
Filled with action in and out of court, rich in characters with motives obvious and subtle, The Attorney marks the much-anticipated return of Paul Madriani.
First line
I can trace it back with precision to one of those fitful weeks in August, when the thermometer hit triple digits for the tenth day in a row.
