A review by ncrabb
The Jury by Steve Martini
David Crone is accused of murdering a colleague at a southern California university as the book opens, and it’s up to Paul Madriani and his law partner, Harry Hinds, to clear Crone.
Crone was involved in secretive and controversial genetics research, and his lab partner, Kalista Jordan, accused him of sexual harassment. Not long thereafter, Jordan is found strangled to death, and the killer used industrial cable ties. I’m never again going to see those as harmless. Granted, I’ve not used the really big ones, so I had no idea they had a tensile strength of up to 250 pounds. Yikes!
When a key witness apparently commits suicide, the case becomes increasingly murky. You won’t see the end coming.
