Defending a client accused of killing her father, attorney Paul Madriani is drawn into a treacherous conspiracy dating to World War II in this enthralling installment in the New York Times bestselling series.

Paul Madriani and Harry Hinds have a new client: Emma Brauer, a woman accused in the "mercy killing" of her aged father, Robert Brauer. Insisting she's innocent, Emma tells Paul about a package sent to her father shortly before he entered the hospital.

When he finds that the box sent to Brauer relates to a mysterious talisman that went missing at the end of the warâ??a feared Nazi relic known as the "Blood Flag"â??Madriani and Hinds realize they are in for the fight of their lives.

Wow! Great mystery, fast pace and superb thriller. OMG why have I not read books by Steve Martini before? I'm hooked now! ( )

An international thriller has Paul Madriani on the hunt for a Nazi Blood flag while trying to prove his client is not guilty of the mercy killing of her father. ( )

I’ve generally liked the novels I’ve read by Steve Martini, but Blood Flag fell short of the mark for several reasons. For one thing, I didn’t care for the writing style, especially the use of present tense, which seems to be all the rage these days but is an illogical way to tell a story. I liked the incorporation of history into the story behind the blood flag, which was a Nazi flag that Hitler had during his failed Beer Hall Putsch, and Hitler’s blood had shed on the flag. He later used it during his reign. But that was really about the only interesting element of the story.

I found the original case featuring the defendant in the story and how the story gets started with Emma Brauer being accused of assisting in her elderly father’s death in Euthanasia fashion to be laughably silly. There was absolutely no evidence against her, and there was no way in hell she would have been arrested for murder on this basis. The entire case was utterly uninteresting to read about. One of the characters in the novel comes off as the Terminator—very unrealistic. Similarly, I found the killer in the story to lack any kind of credibility. The elements I found interesting did not rise the overall level of the novel up. I would recommend skipping this one.

A new author and a new style of whodunnit. A thoroughly enjoyable read and I will be seeking out more of Steve Martiini's novels. ( )
