Generally speaking, my two favorite legal thriller authors are John Grisham and David Baldacci (when he writes one) with Perri O'Shaughnessy (pen name for a set of twins) a distant third. I now have a new number two with Steve Martini.
Double Tap is an entirely plausible story about a retired Delta Force soldier who is accused of murder. Some of the elements of the story are the shenanigans of defense contractors, military/national intelligence agencies and massive amounts of money that form a lethal mix. Mr. Martini has served as a lawyer and a judge. I think he gives us an eagle-eye view of the legal system and it's population that is at once cynical and humorous too. A breath of fresh air for the genre. A good read.
