Description

Doug Weaver is a defense attorney who always believes the best of his clients, and Jacob Cohen, on trial for murder, is no exception. Jacob may be homeless and mentally ill, but Doug can't believe that this meek and intensely religious man could have killed and dismembered a woman. Yet Bernard Cashman, a forensic expert at the Oregon State Crime Lab, finds evidence that indisputably connects Cohen with the crime.

Frustrated and confused, Doug consults Amanda Jaffe, who, with her father, Frank, is working on a case that seems completely unrelated — gangster Art Prochaska is accused of murdering an informer. When Amanda starts looking too closely at the seemingly air-tight evidence in these two apparently unconnected cases, people start to die — and she discovers that a madman with the power to alter the truth is on the loose.

From the author whose writing the Chicago Tribune called "twisted and brilliant," Proof Positive promises all the plot twists and gasp-inducing surprises that are Margolin's undisputed trademark.

        May 1, 2006
        In bestseller Margolin's third legal thriller featuring feisty defense lawyer Amanda Jaffe (after 2003's Wild Justice
        ), respected forensic expert Bernard Cashman, who works for the Oregon State Crime Laboratory, has developed a personal philosophy that allows him to manufacture evidence to ensure the successful prosecution of those he feels are guilty, especially if crucial evidence is missing. He's not a madman, just absolutely sure that he knows more than judge, jury and the legal system when it comes to administering justice. After a fellow crime lab employee approaches him about discrepancies in his work, he adds murder to his list of methods that ensure his continuing crusade. Amanda is still working in her father's law firm and still having trouble with her love life, though Margolin wisely steers clear of wasting much time on her personal problems. The author deftly manages a large cast of characters and ties the many plot lines together with enough clever twists to satisfy faithful fans and newcomers. 6-city author tour.

      • content: Margolin's third legal thriller featuring lawyer Amanda Jaffee is proof positive that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts--especially when boosted by a competent reader like this one. Nanette Savard saves the day by propelling listeners through some implausible legal shenanigans and equally trite dialogue. Jaffee defends a troubled man accused of murder while her father, also a lawyer, is hired to defend a gangster, similarly accused. Both are unaware that the cases are linked and evidence has been tampered with. Savard's crisp reading makes the listening experience pleasurable. She is also better than most female readers at portraying male characters. A.L.H. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine

        Margolin sure knows how to bring listeners into a courtroom and make them feel as if they are members of the jury. Although the dialog might be a bit predictable and the characters a trifle cardboard, the real power of the authors writing lies in his ability to clear away the fog that often obscures legal action. In "Proof Positive", the listeners sympathy is with the defense attorneys, and Nanette Savards performance brings excitement and authenticity to two complex stories. Doug Weaver is a decent defense lawyer who is devastated when one of his favorite clients is executed for a murder he claims he did not commit. At the same time, celebrated attorney Frank Jaffe is hired by the criminal kingpin of Portland, OR, to defend his friend against another murder charge. Two distinct narratives are skillfully interwoven into a story that challenges the imagination until the very end. Margolin definitely retains his reputation as one of the best courtroom drama authors of all time. The demand for this very affordable package will be strong in all public libraries." Joseph L. Carlson, Allan Hancock Coll., Lompoc, CA"

        Amanda Jaffe, the Oregon defense attorney, is defending a homeless man accused of murder, while her father, Frank, is representing a mobster on a similar charge. Although both men profess their innocence, the forensic evidence says otherwise. But when Amanda starts examining the evidence in these two unconnected cases, she finds a frightening common denominator. The third Jaffe novel--after " Wild Justice "(2000) and " Ties That Bind" (2003)--is an examination of the role of forensic evidence in bringing criminals to justice. In addition to a fast-moving plot and characters who at least hold up their end of the bargain, Margolin shows readers how a crime-scene investigator can easily--and often without detection--not only influence the outcome of a trial but also effectively ensure a certain verdict. It's typical of Margolin to use the legal-thriller subgenre to explore some socially significant aspect of the jury system. The increasing popularity of forensic fiction and of " CSI,"" "the television series that has become a cottage industry, virtually guarantees this novel a wide and appreciative audience.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2006, American Library Association.)

        Criminal defense attorney Amanda Jaffe, heroine of Margolin's Wild Justice and Ties That Bind, has her work cut out for her in this outing. Lawyer Doug Weaver is suffering from nightmares after witnessing the execution of a client whom he had advised to plead guilty to matricide in the erroneous hope of avoiding the death penalty. A mobster is accused of murdering a drug addict after his fingerprints are found at the scene of the crime. A deranged homeless man is charged with committing a ghastly murder when the victim's blood is found on his clothes. The forensic evidence against all three men is overwhelmingunless it is being manufactured. Enter Jaffe, who gets some help from her father, Weaver, and a private forensic scientist. Forensic science is hot, and Margolin brings it to the forefront in this gruesome and frightening legal thriller Recommended for all public libraries.
