“A tight plot where all of the elements dovetail at the
end...twists and turns...The suspense here is excruciating.”—The
Washington Post

twisted plot. Martini's hot streak continues.”—Booklist

outing for Martini.”—Chicago Tribune
“Very entertaining...satisfying and genuinely
shocking.”—Newsday
“Another engrossing court battle.”—Publishers Weekly
Lottery winner Jonah Hale's drug-addicted daughter demands a big payoff when he won't relinquish the granddaughter she left in his care, then accuses him of sexual abuse when he refuses to deliver. A famed feminist activist helps spirit away mother and daughter and then gets bumped off. Sounds like another complicated case for Paul Madriani. Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
