The Jury - Steve Martini (CD)
Title: Title: The Jury Author: Steve Martini Genre: Suspense / Legal Format: CD, 5 CDs, 5 Hours (Abridged) Synopsis: Paul Madriani has ample reason to suspect that he's representing a guilty man. Dr. David Crone, a respected medical researcher and principal in mapping the human genome, is charged with the murder of a young colleague: twenty-six-year-old Kalista Jordan, an African American research physician whose dismembered body was found in a nearby bay. Forensic evidence links her murder with items discovered in Crone's garage. Madriani takes Crone's case, but his defense is hindered by the secrecy surrounding Crone's current research. As the trial unfolds, a scandal from Crone's past, involving his controversial use of genetic racial profiling, is revived. The murdered woman had filed charges of sexual harassment against Crone, and taken secret documents from his files. Paul is left to try to piece together a defense while Crone and his colleagues are hiding parts of the puzzle. When a key witness for the prosecution ends up dead, leaving an incriminating note behind, Crone's acquittal at trial is all but assured. Yet Paul is left with nagging questions concerning his client, doubts that are answered with a stunning revelation and a shattering climax. Review: Library Journal The Jury is the sixth installment in Martini's popular legal thriller series featuring attorney Paul Madriani. This time Madriani is defending David Crone, whose colleague, the beautiful and manipulative research physician Kalista Jordan, he is accused of murdering. Although the story line is generally interesting, set in the highly competitive world of research medicine, there are flaws that will distract the listener from total enjoyment. Prominent among these is the irritating Crone, who is too stupid or na ve about the legal process to be believed. Also puzzling is the titular "jury," which is only superficially present during the courtroom scenes and has no role in any important plot point. The reading by TV and movie actor John Slattery is enjoyable and competent, but it's not enough to redeem this audiotape. Definitely not Martini at his best; not recommended. Kristen L.
