OTHER TITLES BY JOHN MARTEL
|
The Alternate In an opulent San Francisco mansion, a beautiful woman lies dead. Her husband stands accused of her murder and two ambitious lawyers step into the courtroom for the most challenging trial of their careers. Defense attorney
Barrett Dickson represents the accused—an ex-congressman whose
alibi is as questionable as his past. Prosecutor Grace Harris's case
rests on a piece of evidence that has mysteriously vanished. Driven by personal vendettas and plagued by controversy, the trial is spinning dangerously out of control. And one person's agenda is about to turn deadly… "The
crime is startling and complex, the legal atmosphere authentic, and
the courtroom scenes engrossing. John Martel has done it again." "The
Alternate is—without a reasonable doubt-an exciting and enjoyable
novel." "Proves
that some lawyers do have a talent for writing action…. A thriller that
moves like a high-speed train."

For ambitious attorney Rachel Cannon, this is her make-or-break chance to earn the firm's first female partnership. For S. P. & M.'s best and brightest litigator, Kevin Stone, it is the greatest challenge of his career. For both, it quickly becomes the ultimate test of their loyalties, ethics-and deepest desires. Suddenly the headline-making, multimillion-dollar trial explodes into a scandal of greed, power-and cold-blooded murder. For someone, the goal is no longer justice-it's winning...at any cost.
