Prime Witness – Steve Martini

Description

Prime Witness by Steve Martini is a gripping legal thriller and the second instalment in the Paul Madriani series. Set in the seemingly quiet college town of Davenport, California, the story follows defence attorney-turned-prosecutor Paul Madriani as he tackles a series of brutal murders that have shaken the community to its core. With five victims in just five days, urgency mounts as Madriani is appointed special prosecutor to bring the so-called “Putah Creek Killer” to justice.

As physical evidence leads to a college security guard, Madriani finds himself in a tense courtroom battle against a rival attorney with a personal vendetta. But not everything adds up — while the first four murders seem linked, the final two bear the mark of a different killer. In a race against time and a trial with dangerously high stakes, Madriani must balance the pursuit of justice with the realisation that the true killer may still be out there.

Fast-paced and intricately plotted, Prime Witness is ideal for fans of courtroom drama and legal suspense, especially those who enjoy complex characters and unexpected twists.
