Prominent defense attorney murdered in Central Park-random act or a conspiracy?

When Tom Perini, a legendary Heisman Trophy winner turned criminal lawyer, is found brutally murdered in Central Park, his widow Julie Perini suspects a wider conspiracy. Not only was her husband part of the defense team for a Congressman on trial for bribery, but her intuition also tells her that the FBI is not too eager to find the killer.

Relying on her skills as a journalist, Julie begins her own investigation and soon discovers her late husband's secret underworld associations; ties that now threaten her and her toddler's lives. Fighting grief and a sense of betrayal, Julie is pulled into an inescapable labyrinth of organized crime dealings, political corruption, brutal power grabs and murder.

Desperate, Julie turns to Vincent Sorrentino, Tom's defense partner, for help, and the two discover a shocking and terrifying truth that threatens to paralyze them. But it may also hold the key-the only key-to saving the lives of Julie and her daughter.

Reviews for Death's Witness: A Novel

This well-crafted legal thriller has the feel of the real, because it was written by a first-rate lawyer who is also a very good writer. --Alan Dershowitz, author of Preemption: The Knife That Cuts Both Ways Batista, in a word, is wonderful here, guiding his readers skillfully and assuredly through a complex plot. Death's Witness is Exhibit A for the proposition that Batista is as much a winner at writing as he is at defending. --Bookreporter Death's Witness is an outstanding debut novel --BookPage The verdict on Batista's debut legal thriller: guilty of delivering not only sharp courtroom drama but steamy romantic escapism as well. --Publisher's Weekly
