About this listen
"Riveting…a suspenseful tale, right up to the satisfying climax", wrote Publishers Weekly in praise of The Judge. "Legal thrillers don't get much better than this." Kirkus Reviews hailed Undue Influence as the "courtroom novel of the year". Now Martini delivers Paul Madriani's most challenging case yet: One pitting a drug-addicted mother against her daughter's newly rich grandfather in a contentious custody case that leads to criminal accusations and ultimately murder. 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.

Burke's newest client is a woman named Flood, who has the face of an angel, the body of a high-priced stripper, and the skills of a professional executioner. She wants Burke to find a monster for her - so she can kill him with her bare hands. In this thriller, Andrew Vachss's renegade private eye teams up with a lethally gifted avenger to follow a child's murderer through the catacombs of New York, where every alley is blind and the penthouses are as dangerous as the basements.

Story
Alan Gregory is a clinical psychologist with a thriving practice in Boulder, Colorado. His life begins to unravel when one of his female patients is found in an apparent suicide and the local paper begins printing accusations from an unnamed source of sexual impropriety between the woman and Dr. Gregory. He launches a psychological and personal quest for the truth that rapidly intensifies when more of his patients die untimely deaths, and Gregory suspects not only that the deaths are related but that another one of his patients may be somehow involved. Lacking facts but roused by suspicion and troubled by seemingly random acts of terror around him, Gregory starts to fear for the safety of the people he loves. The question of the inviolability of confidential disclosures made to Gregory by his patients - privileged information - becomes crucial as the psychologist pursues an unsettling romance with Lauren Crowder, a lovely deputy district attorney investigating one of the deaths. Bound to silence, Gregory follows the psychological tracks of someone he fears may be a cunning and disturbed killer, while turning to his enigmatic but supportive partner, Diane Estevez, for counsel, and to his tart-tongued female urologist neighbor for support. The sinister, surprising drama unfolds against Boulder's Rocky Mountain backdrop, in the arresting natural beauty of Aspen, and in the midst of a baroque Halloween costume party in downtown Boulder. Finally, in a lonely mountain lodge enshrouded in menace, the story comes to its breathtaking climax.

Good Courtroom Drama
I was just fishing around for anything to read and remembered Martini. I used to read his paperbacks years ago. I am so glad to find him on audio now. This tale seems to have a bit of everything, love, murder, innocence, betrayal and compassion. All these things woven into a well thought out plot but dropping hints like bread crumbs along the way. The narrator did a great job with his reading keeping tempo with the rhythm of the events. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Good Mystery
Madrianni strikes again. Good twists and turns. A little predictable. Not Martini's best but a good read.

Great listen
Martini is one of a handful of legal writers who knows the law, evidence and how it plays out. If you love an honest view of the courts, prosecutors, government and defense counsel, he is simply the best

A little lengthy!
The court process was being too lengthy and lots of repeated events. A little boring and the narrator is also not as good! I find Dan Warren as the best narrator so far!!
