Guardian Of Lies
“The sort of compulsive page-turner that keeps readers up at night….Both timely and scary…. Guardian of Lies more th an satisfies.” — Washington Times Defense attorney Paul Madriani is caught in a web of deceit and murder involving Cold War secrets, a rare coin dealer who once worked for the CIA, and a furious assassin in Guardian of Lies, the most entertaining novel yet in the New York Times bestselling series. Steve Martini, #1 bestselling author of Shadow of Power, Double Tap, and other acclaimed Madriani thrillers, demonstrates once again why he’s one of the genre’s masters, along with John Grisham, David Baldacci, James Patterson, John Lescroart, Brad Meltzer, and Scott Turow.

It takes a while for this whole storyline to come together, but once it does, you won't be able to put it down. The main character is a lawyer, Paul Madriani, the main character in many/all? of Steve Martini's books. However, this is not really a legal thriller. It is more along the lines of international intrigue.
It is a very good story, one which keeps you on the edge of your seat until the end. A man is murdered, and a young woman who was a guest in his home is the main suspect. As the story unfolds, Paul Madriani sort of inadvertantly becomes her lawyer, but then also becomes a suspect in the murder. The woman thinks that part of the mystery of the murder hinges on photos her mother took in S. America. Madriani and his P.I. eventually take off for S. America to try to find the evidence which will prove Madriani is not involved with, nor guilty of, the murder. It leads them into an international intrigue involving Middle Eastern terrorists, an old Cuban rebel and various US agencies trying to stop the terrorism.
Martini includes some very interesting information about aspects of the storyline: the Cuban missle crisis, Mexican drug cartels, and nuclear bombs. The story line involves this background information, and it was extremely interesting to learn how reality meets fiction. Definitely a good read!

I used to enjoy Martini's "Paul Madriani" novels. They used to be legal thrillers. This particular offering reads more like a Tom Clancy thriller and although it offers some cool variations on the terrorist theme, it is so far removed from a legal thriller that it became a dreary volume to push my way through.
Rather than dealing with legal wrangling and clever detective work. I find our hero acting like James Bond or something. Martini does a credible job with dialogue and concept, but I guess I want a legal thriller to be about crime rather than terrorism. From the very beginning the reader knows that there is a threat to the security of the United States. Martini creates a murderer who is nicknamed "liquid Death" or "The Mexicutioner" and the bad guy is credible enough, but after awhile his motivation is just a little less than realistic. The novel continues to slip back and forth between the viewpoint of the killer and the lawyer and prosecution and the various spy entities that become involved in a dizzying spin.
I liked the basic plot idea and liked the fact that the author researched it so well. However, it should have featured characters other than the usual cast.

This is a great fast paced political thriller!!! Lawyer, Paul Madriani, gets involved in a terrorist conspiracy to devastate San Diego. The plot contains a retired CIA rare coins dealer, escaped Muslim extremists from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (Fidel Castro), a dying Russian nuclear weapons expert, Mexican cartels, a hired assassin, an old nuclear weapon left over from the Cuban Missile Crisis, and last-but-not-least, Madrini is accused of murder. It sounds complicated, but the story is truly believable - a scary thought! That is because there are a lot of facts throughout this fiction story. Beware - it is not the usual Paul Madriani lawyer story - he never makes it into the courtroom with this one. AND will he make it through another book?

I picked this up from the Library sale.
I actually thought it was a different author.
I normally don't like picking up books that are a 'series' in the middle and prefer to read the first one first but.... it was a long plane ride.
It is a 'typical' thriller with:
drugs
assassin
terrorist
FBI agents
lawyers
Cold War leftovers
and a nice tidy package at the end.
oh and it has a dwarf. 1/2 an extra star for a dwarf.
It was a lot different than I expected. Half the book is told from the first person and half isn't. The 'hero' is not a 'super hero' just seems to be a regular dude.
All in all it was a quick read and I would probably read another one.

Martini is my go to author for legal thrillers; I have not been disappointed by any of his novels. His recurring character, Paul Madriani, this time gets involved in a terrorist plot stemming back to the Cold War, so readers get a nice historical back look at Russia, Cuba, and the Bay of Pigs incident. Nicely done.
I like Martini because he doesn't crank them out once a month like some mainstream authors do - you've got to wait for his new books, and they are worth the wait.

Good book, but lacking the courtroom drama that makes this series so intriguing and compelling. I was disappointed by that lack, and not impressed with the James Bond-like role that Paul Madrianni played in this story.
The story is, as always, well written, but the villains (and there were a number of them) were one-dimensional.

I really enjoy Steve Martini's Paul Madriani novels. The plots are generally interesting and not full of explicit sex and gore. This one was well-done and fun. Not great literature, just a well-crafted thriller.

Martini is a great thriller writer including murders, international intrigue and more. His main character, Paul Madriani, attorney extraordinaire, is known for not always following the rules...such as not being totally truthful with the police when he is questioned and keeping crime scene evidence in his desk drawer. Women seem to gravitate towards him so he must have charm and appeal!
It doesn't matter that the book is close to 600 pages because once the reader starts, there is no finishing until it is all over! Madriani is a continuing character in Martini's books and is both smart and funny and yes, entertaining.

This is the first Steve Martini book that I have read, and I have now already got a second lined up for a few books time! The Goodreads review said, like many other reviews, that the book was compulsive and difficult to put down at night. This one really is, like the Grisham books! Great plot and very enjoyable. I would give it 4.6 as it's above average for a 4 rating.

I didn't like this book. It jumped around between too many different characters, and was virtually no legal drama, which is what I want from these books. Paul Madriani is not James Bond.

I liked the plot, but had trouble staying "in story" with this one.
The author keeps switching the character names from first to last name, repeatedly, even in the same paragraph. I just found it confusing.
Paragraphs like these are rampant:
"Nitikin now knew that Alim no longer needed him. Yakov was running out of time. If Afundi found Marciela in the back of the truck..."
Maybe if I were 20 years younger, or if I had read the book in one sitting, it would be easier, but every time I came across these names, I was pulled out of the storyline as I stopped to try to remember that Yakov WAS Nitikin and that Alim WAS Afundi.
The author seems to like to skip from first to last name, rarely using the same name twice in a row, and I found it jarring. If he would have chosen to use either the first name, suggesting intimacy, perhaps, or the last name, then I would have been OK. If he would have just used last names, switching to first names only when characters who were friendly with one another or related to one another conversed, I would have been ok, but often times I thought there were 4 characters when in fact there were only 2.
Like I said, if I had read this book in one sitting, it wouldn't have been a problem, but I didn't. I felt stupid at first, when I had to flip back to earlier pages to remember which first name goes with which last name (or worse, which pseudonym goes with which pseudonym). Later, even after I knew who was who, I just felt annoyed every time I noticed the name switches.
The book is well written, and very action packed. I enjoyed it, other than the name thing. If it weren't for the name thing, I would have given it 4 or 5 stars.

Steve Martini is a favorite of mine in the legal mystery genre. However, he's departed from that by a long shot in this book. It is still very well written (OK, I confess, it was nearly impossible to put down by the time I got about 1/3 of the way through), but, if you read it, get ready to witness some really gorey murders. And tolerate some detailed descriptions of bomb technology, yawn. I could well have done without The Mexicutioner, who surely does exist in probably several people in Central or South America. Now, that said, he weaves a plot with middle eastern terrorism and Latin American drug cartels, plus a stray Russian missle, which is totally believable and backed up after the novel as containing nuggets of truth... very scary ones. I am not titillated by really scary stories, however, and also keep up on the news, which is scary enough. So, unfortunately, it looks like Mr. Martini is moving his most excellent lawyer hero, Paul Madriani, out of the courtroom, at least for this book and its sequel (yes, there is a sequel with the Mexicutioner). I hope that one day he'll return to the already frightening world of legal battles.

My first book by this author. Don't really know what to say about it, it's a long row to hoe, I can tell you that. The pacing is funny, drawn out and overly detailed. The plot just doesn't move along like I'd like it to. There were some surprising moments, but not enough to bring the rating above a 2.

After what I thought was a slow start, with a hard to follow story line, this story really developed and kept me wanting to hear what was going to happen next!! Loved the ending, except there was not closure on one set of characters, so I'm guessing, since this was #10 in the Paul Madriana series by Steve Martini, that this situation will resolve in a later story. 7 out of 10 for me.
August 26, 2019
My first book by this author, it was enjoyable and had a nice balance of action, suspense, and snark. I appreciated the limited use of profanity as well. It’s not so much a legal thriller, although the protagonist is an attorney, as an international action thriller. Not to the level of David Baldacci, but still interesting. It’s a good read, and I look forward to trying others by this author.
July 28, 2010
This is pretty mnuch a snoozer that reads like a made for t.v. movie. None of the characters were interesting and the plot was not even close to a page turner. I actually had to force myself to finish this.
April 3, 2018
The first of the three "Liquida" books, which I read out of order (I read 2, then 3, and finally 1). This was the best of the three. Not so over-the-top, lots of tense action scenes and even a little legal drama. I liked them all, but I wish I *had* started with this one. Fun read.
September 25, 2009
Did not finish - not enticing as some of his other books or maybe I'm not into this kind of literature any longer... His other ones are really good.

I’ve read and mostly enjoyed the other nine books in this series; it seems a bit uneven to me up to now, but this 10th book is an edge-of-the-chair must-read. Guess what else! If you aren’t a fan of long courtroom scenes, you’ll really love this book, because there isn’t a single one in it. There’s plenty of trial, but not the type that occurs in front of a robed judge.
First, a quick word about Paul Madriani for those who haven’t read the first nine books or who haven’t read my previous reviews of them. He’s a widower, and his college-aged daughter is away at school. Madriani moved to the San Diego area years before this book occurs. He is at a grocery store one day when he meets her. The woman is attention-grabbing beautiful, and she is roughly the age of his daughter. They share a conversation, and in a subsequent meeting, a drink, but nothing more. She has escaped from a nasty situation in which she has been retained in the U.S. against her will. Of Costa Rican descent, Katia simply wants to go back home. But her captor, a former intelligence operative, knows things about her family tree that make her highly valuable—not in and of herself, but because of some pictures she has—pictures that show the partially concealed image of an old man in a shirt that has a special patch sewn onto it. It is that patch that sets him apart and that makes her valuable to the American former operative.
But Katia eventually escapes, fleeing just moments before the American is grotesquely murdered. Soon she is charged with the murder of her former captor, and before long, Madriani is charged as a co-conspirator. Worse still, the old man in Katia’s mysterious photo is connected to a nuclear plot that, if carried out, could destroy much of southern California.
I’ve done a lousy job of conveying the nail-biting excitement that permeates this book, and I’ve not explained well the connection between Katia and the old man and a ‘60s-era nuclear device. But it will all make abundant sense if you read this.
You don’t have to have read any of the series before this book if you don’t want to. The author fills in any gaps. You are left with the reality that there must be a sequel to this, and indeed there is. But if you’re not into committing yourself to reading an entire series, you can enjoy this.

This has to be one of the best Madriani books of the series.
Plot: A young Costa Rican woman, Katia, is accused of killing the man who brought her to the United States. (Emerson Pike) Paul knows Katia and takes her on as a client.
There are a lot of bad organizations involved in this story…Cuba, Russia, the Mexican Cartel and Arab terrorists. Paul and Harry are thrown into the middle of it.
The little prosecutor, Templeton rears his ugly head and uses his aggressive somewhat misguided tack tics to pull Paul in further than he should. Just because he knew Katia and lied about it.
Herman helps Harry travel to Costa Rica to find the camera that has the pictures that seem to be the center of the murder. But they get in over their head down there.
There is a lot of action in this book. More so than some of the others.
And what’s interesting to me is, Liquidia, the Mexican Cartel puts both the Arab and Herman and Harry on his hit list. And we are left hanging at the end because they don’t really know about Liquidia….
I feel like Martini is has really taken a good hold of this series. It’s not the same mystery over and over. He can really change up the plots and make them interesting and exciting.
I’m still trying to decide if this is a 4 or a 5. If I could give it a 4.5 I would. The only thing holding me back is it was a bit long. And some of the detail was too much I had to speed read on occasion.

Again, the author is doing way too much. I do like some of his books but it seems he wants to write a book that is realistic but is so far from that. The superhero attorney, Paul, to the rescue. He says towards the end of the book how it changed him coming close to death. Just about all the books he came close to death. At the end when the terrorist shoots the hostage rescue team from behind the noise of the helicopter covered the sound of the rifle but right before that it said how these helicopters were in whisper mode so no one heard them. So now that they’re ready to sneak up on the truck the helicopter is loud. Little details like that kills me. Again, everything to the extreme. I wouldn’t say too much if it was not for the author trying to illustrate how real this could be. At the end of the books he’s been justifying parts of the book, even though some of it could be true the way he puts it together is again way too much. Another thing that got me is on the Mexicutioner, the Mexican hitman. They describe him of having evil eyes and a scarred part Mark face. For a guy looking like that the author made him so easy on talking to people and getting any information he wanted. The person that looks like that others will have their guard up, they would not just open up and give them everybody’s whole history on the spot.

I really enjoy reading Martini. This is the third book of his I've read and it was definitely solid. Paul Madriani, the series protagonist lawyer, this time gets involved in a narco/terrorist plot with yet to be extinguished cold war overtones. The story unfolded smoothly and there was plenty of intrigue. The novel did depart from his normal trial lawyer (Grisham-style) legal thriller, but it was satisfying. My only problem, albeit minor, was the ending which did not have the plot twist that so many of this genre have. The descriptions of the bomb device, the arming, the prep work, etc. were much too detailed and drawn out. There were dozens of pages spread out over several chapters. I don't think many readers really want to know how to arm or prepare a shotgun nuclear device, nor its ramifications. I presume most would get the idea of the harrowing nature of such a device left over from a 1960s soviet installation in Cuba. Nevertheless, I dig Martini and his style, so what would have been a 3 and 1/2 star thriller novel for me if written by anyone else rounds up to 4.

I was given this book as an advanced readers copy in December 2014 with the agreement that I would post an honest review after reading it. Life happened, but I finally got a chance to read it, so here goes.
Very tense, International thriller with hints of historical fiction. Great character development with characters as complicated as friends in real life. Even bad guys in this story were fun to mind hack as they pursued their subplot. I really enjoyed Mr. Martini’s writing and flow. Unlike other “espionage” type thrillers (and I would not classify this as such, but it’s international flair is reminiscent) I actually enjoyed the protagonist/main narrator’s parting thoughts. Very introspective. Not happy about the “Mexicutioner’s” finally thoughts, but definitely left lots of room for future appearances.
While I didn’t enjoy the main antagonist’s psychopathic persona, I think I would enjoy a novela about his backstory and hope the author does that one day.
Fast read. Highly recommend.

The talk of torture of the Mexicans at the end of the book as if it was a “normal” action for the FBI to take would have been a war crime even though they weren’t in a war. All the authorities in this story were dumb, myopic and self serving, and with no respect for human life, imo.
Thorpe and Rhytag loved to shout orders, pound desks and act powerful. Oh the command center, body armour, triggering, Homeland Security, hostage, deploy, military helicopters, Delta Force - yawn, just words to increase the tension which by that time in the book, i couldn’t care less.
I liked Harry, Paul and Herman, that’s about it.

A murder, a frame up, an assassin, a decades old nuclear device, and terrorists, all abound in this story. Attorney Paul, his partner Harry, and their investigator Herman, work against time in the US and Central America to clear not only the defendent's name, but also Paul's name as he as been drawn in as a suspect this time. In comes the FBI, following Paul and Herman as they all try to foil the terrorists' plans before it is too late.
Author Martini has created a cast of characters that are human and committed to finding the truth. They are a haphazard family and a real family. They are appealing.

This novel may be more of a political thriller or “Mission Impossible” knock-off. That means it is extremely convoluted, inundated with extreme coincidences in both characters and actions and generally entertaining. It’s not much of a courtroom drama, but more of an international terror cliffhanger into which our protagonist is dragged by one of the aforementioned coincidences. It concluded with all loose ends tied up – except ONE – and that one was really unnecessary and obviously a mechanism to provide potentially unrelated plot twists in later books.

Guardian of Lies is like no other Paul Madriani novel.
Martini pretty much takes a step away from the (fabulous) courtroom drama he writes to tell a different kind of tale -- political espionage.
This was way more Mitch Rapp / Jack Ryan (Jack Ryan, Jr.)
Absolutely loved it. Looking forward to The Rule of Nine --which seems to pick up where this saga left off!
