D.A. Amanda Jaffe, star of Margolin's Wild Justice, is representing an insane derelict charged with a hideous murder. Her father, Frank, is the attorney for a notorious mobster charged with the murder of a junkie. Both clients claim to be innocent-despite overwhelming forensic evidence. But what if the fingerprints, ballistics tests, and other evidence analyzed by the crime lab are not what they seem? Is it possible that a CSI technician would misuse his position to frame innocent people? When Amanda starts looking too closely at the seemingly air-tight evidence in these two apparently unconnected cases, people start to die and she discovers that a madman with the power to alter the truth is on the loose.
Margolin's third legal thriller featuring lawyer Amanda Jaffee is proof positive that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts--especially when boosted by a competent reader like this one. Nanette Savard saves the day by propelling listeners through some implausible legal shenanigans and equally trite dialogue. Jaffee defends a troubled man accused of murder while her father, also a lawyer, is hired to defend a gangster, similarly accused. Both are unaware that the cases are linked and evidence has been tampered with. Savard's crisp reading makes the listening experience pleasurable. She is also better than most female readers at portraying male characters. A.L.H. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
