Steve Martini rides his books as if they are
surfboards. A helluva trip," said Newsday about
the New York Times best-seller Undue Influence,
the book Kirkus Reviews called the "court-
room novel of the year." Now, with The Judge,
Martini returns to give his readers another
edge-of-the-seat ride.
Steve Martini s explosive new thriller finds
attorney Paul Madriani the unlikely defense
lawyer for an old nemesis. Judge Armando
"the Coconut" Acosta is arrested on charges
of soliciting prostitution in a st!rig operation
for "johns," and few, including Paul Madri-
ani, who has a long history of enmity with
the judge, are sympathetic. Abandoned by his
friends on the Capital County bench, Acosta
is forced, in an ironic twist, to ask Paul to save
his career from intpending doom. Paul ini-
tially rejects Acosta s pleas, but when Acosta s
original defense lawyer is forced off the case
by a zealous district attorney looking for
revenge, Paul is required to step forward and
defend the judge.
As the case proceeds, the young female
deputy reserve officer who snared the judge is found brutally murdered, and Acosta is the
prime suspect. The reason? The officer was
the only person who could give evidence
against the judge. With his client now charged
with murder, Paul faces the most daunting,
disturbing, and complex case of his career.
Packed with the nonstop drama and richly
drawn characters that have come to be Steve
Marring trademarks, TheJudge delivers a decisive
thumbs-up verdict.
Steve Martini s best-selling novels include
Compelling Evidence, Prime Witness, and Undue
Influence. He lives on the West Coast.
