Paul Madriani switches sides from defense to prosecution, making this story a bit different. It's still suspenseful while remaining believable. A few more likable characters are introduced in this novel. It's more great legal fiction.

Ray Foushee has become the voice of Paul Madriani for me. The only improvement I could wish for is more distinction given to the voicing of the various characters. Otherwise, his performance is excellent.
