SURVIVAL USED TO MEAN BEING ABLE TO PAY THE RENT.NOW IT’S MORE ABOUT HAVING A TARGET ON HIS BACK.Celebrated criminal attorney Marc Kadella’s playing in the big leagues now. As his renown grows, so does the epic size of the personalities who now seek his representation – along with the complexity and often the distastefulness of the cases. Marc increasingly finds himself at the center of the explosive events of the day. He might be mellowing (slightly), as many men would, when gorgeous investigator Maddy Rivers becomes much more than an associate – and more than a friend. But author Carstens consistently delivers intricate, twisty-turny plotting and gripping courtroom drama, to the delight of classic and noir readers alike.INSIDER JUSTICE (Book 8)When celebrated criminal lawyer Marc Kadella takes on the fall-out of a class action suit against a beloved corporate toy company, he discovers a vipers' den of insider trading, sex scandal, political corruption, and murder, in this heart-racing financial thriller.EXQUISITE JUSTICE (Book 9)When a string of police brutality accusations leads to civil unrest, Minneapolis defense attorney Marc Kadella finds himself trapped in a web of racism and corruption—thanks to a drug ring orchestrated by a villain so manipulative even hard-nosed investigator Tony Carvelli’s stumped.CULT JUSTICE (Book 10)The sixties aren’t just a bad memory in the tenth riveting installment of Dennis Carstens’s Marc Kadella legal thriller mystery series. Professor Ben Sokol is exactly as you’d image him: a single, fifty-something-year-old history teacher, schooled in radical anti-Reagan pacifism of the 80s, an underappreciated, self-believing genius—with a dose of rage bubbling just beneath the surface.MADDY’S JUSTICE (Book 11)Marc Kadella and associate Connie Mickelson are hired to defend a prominent, well-connected firm from a sexual harassment lawsuit involving the firm’s main rainmaker. Peeling back the layers, his investigators Tony Carvelli and Marc’s lady love Maddy Rivers uncover the firm’s connections to drug smuggling, money laundering, and sex slave trafficking.
WOWEach of Dennis Carstens books got better & better! Love the attorney jokes. Love the self-defense Maggie uses, the best! Wish she had used the gun on the one guy in the last book like she threatened! Makes me wish I had taken self defense classes!!! I have read 1 through 11 now & will check to see if Dennis writes more! Love these books! Page turners! And each is actually different!
Tops 10, make it an 11 at the very least !If it got any better than this I would not get any sleep at all.Great story line with updated twist and turns. May have been written from past experience and things in the past . Oh yeah, Mikey liked it !
