Book Review: The Warriors by Paul Batista

The Warriors is billed as a John Grisham-like legal thriller.  And it is, but a bit gorier.

Raquel Rematti is a high profile New York attorney involved in an astounding case.  Senator Angelina Baldesteri, former first lady and current presidential candidate, has been indicted for tax evasion, money laundering, and election fraud. As the trial progresses, Raquel realizes that this cold, calculating client will do anything to be acquitted, including lying...and possibly even more serious actions. It comes to the attention of the prosecutor that a witness is being bribed.  And Raquel herself is being accused of being involved in the bribery.

Not only is Raquel in danger of losing her career, but even her life. It takes a while for the action to get going, but once it does, it is relentless.  Many major players are losing their lives, and it isn’t quite clear until the very end if Raquel will escape.

Those fans of legal thrillers involving corruption at the highest level, and wanton violence, will enjoy The Warriors.

  1. Grisham and Scott Turrow are the only legal thrillers I've ever read.
