Paul Madriani Series - Book 5

In The Attorney, Steve Martini delivers a gripping legal thriller featuring defense attorney Paul Madriani, who finds himself entangled in a complex case involving family, wealth, and murder. After relocating to San Diego to be closer to his partner, Madriani takes on the defense of Jonah Hale, an elderly man accused of sexually abusing his granddaughter, Amanda. The accusation comes from Jonah's estranged, drug-addicted daughter, Jessica, who resurfaces following Jonah's multimillion-dollar lottery win, seeking custody of Amanda and a share of the newfound wealth. When Jessica and Amanda disappear, aided by radical activist Zo Suade, and Zo is later found murdered, Jonah becomes the prime suspect. Madriani must navigate a labyrinth of legal and moral challenges to uncover the truth and exonerate his client.
