Shadow of Power by Steve Martini

Paul Madriani and partner Harry Hinds are defending a young man being charged with the murder of Terry Scarborough, a legal scholar and provocateur who craves headline-making celebrity. I found this book pretty boring until about the 20th chapter when things livened up a bit. Martini closes explaining the historical background for the topic of this book, which in itself is very interesting regarding the issue of slavery. History buffs might like this. Sandy P
