Blood Flag Audiobook Summary

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. Bequeathed to him by a member of his unit from World War II, the box contains a key and a slip of paper. Emma fears that this package is connected to her father’s death.

When Paul’s young assistant Sofia is murdered, Madriani is blindsided by the realization that Emma’s fears are well-grounded.

Digging into Robert’s military history, Madriani discovers that other members of the Army unit Robert served with have recently died–under similarly suspicious circumstances. When he finds that the box sent to Brauer relates to a mysterious talisman that went missing at the end of the war–a feared Nazi relic known as the “Blood Flag”–Madriani and Hinds realize they are in for the fight of their lives.

With Emma’s life on the line and their own safety in jeopardy, Madriani must uncover the truth before the evil of the Blood Flag is allowed to spin a new web.

I use to follow the Paul Madraini series but somehow I got sidetracked. I saw it listed on Audible’s suggest reading list and decided to buy it. I have always enjoyed Steve Martini’s writing.Paul and his partner Harry Hinds have a new client, Emma Brauer. Emma is accused of murdering her father, Robert Brauer, for his money. Paul has his new legal assistant Sofia check into a package left at Robert Brauer’s home just before he was murdered. Paul is notified by the police that Sofia’s body has been found murdered near Robert Brauer’s home. Paul discovers that Robert Brauer was stationed in Munich at the end of WWII and his team was searching for a “blood flag” which was a Nazi flag used by Hitler. He also discovers all members of the unit are dead by mysterious means.The book is well written and researched. The characters are interesting as is the plot, which twists and turns every which way. I remember the Martini books I read in the past were mostly courtroom dramas. This book is primarily an international thriller. I did find it interesting because of the World War II connection. I read this as an audiobook downloaded from Audible. Dan Moren did a good job narrating the book.

I practically always like Mr. Martini's books and this one was no exception. I got really involved by it. It did have a major surprise almost at the end that stunned me and it took me awhile to believe it.

This is another of Martini's books from the Paul Madriani series. This, like its more recent predecessors, does not involve courtroom action, which made Martini great but instead international action and intrigue. I wish Martini would get back to the courtroom. However, this is a good book. Paul has a client who is accused of killing her elderly father-a mercy killing since he is sick. The father was a World War II vet who was in Munich when Hitler was brought down. It is believed that he and a couple of buddies have a Nazi flag that was soaked in the blood of a Hitler fanatic which Hitler waved at rallies to fire up his people. The two buddies died mysteriously prior to Emma's father being killed. Where is the flag? Who wants it? What is it worth? What will people do it get the flag?I enjoy the witty back and forth between characters in Martini books. I can picture Paul's partner Harry. Harry is dating a local judge at the time which spices things up a little. Another fun read but not as good as his courtroom dramas. Return to your roots Steve.

Librarians and marketing department got it wrong: NOT a novel about assisted suicide.As I noted about other books supposed to be about assisted suicide/medical killing, this novel has nothing to do with euthanasia, the killing of an elderly human being. It is, however, a suspenseful murder mystery involving an artifact from Nazi Germany.Martini does write some rather suspenseful scenes. While the pages of question-and-answer format between characters can be cumbersome, history buffs will appreciate how much information is conveyed about things now forgotten by contemporary readers (World War II, September 11, the abuses of the Obama reign/dictatorship on the country, etc.).If you’re researching contemporary fiction on euthanasia or medical killing, skip this novel. If you want a good read for the fun of it, then Martini’s style will please you.

A daughter, Emma Brauer, is accused of murdering her father n a VA hospital. She claims innocence and hires partners Harry Hinds and Paul Madriani, attorneys, to help her. As they investigate, Emma tells them her father was very frightened in his last days, but he wouldn't tell her why. He had received a small box with a picture and a small a small key in it. Her father served in the army, along with Ed Pack and Walter Jones. They were in Munich after the 1923 Beer Hall Putch. During the Putch, one of Hitler's men, Andreas Bauriedl was shot and killed. He fell on the Nazi flag and bleed out. Hitler took the flag and whenever he was publicly speaking, had another man carry the flag. It was believed that Emma's father, Ed Pack and Walter Jones stole the flag from the wreckage of the building it was in after the war ended. Now, all three of them have died. It's evident someone is looking for the flag, believed to be worth millions. The U.S. government is looking to find it to destroy it. Finding the flag is critical to Harry and Paul's defense of Emma, but where and how?

Another fine installment in the Paul Madriani series. Another fine installment in the Paul Madriani series. The List is still my favorite Steve Martini. I wish he would write more stand alone books. This might work as a stand alone because he somewhat explains a few things as he goes along but a reader would have a better understanding of the characters by reading the series in order.

A woman is blamed for the mercy killing of her father, Madriani takes the case claiming she's innocent. While investigating her case Paul stumbles upon a WWII incident involving the taking of a Nazi artifact directly tied to Hitler. The veterans that took it have all ended up dead. This isn't your typical court room drama but I enjoyed the bit of history and particularly the surprise at the end.

This was a little different Paul Madriani story, but I really enjoyed it. With the back story of WWII, and the legacy of Hitler, Blood Flag features a mystery regarding the deaths of WWII veterans. When a daughter is suspected of killing her father, a WWII veteran, Paul steps up to represent her, and finds himself engaged in solving a mystery of a war relic that several groups are trying to find. Blood Flag was interesting, with plenty of action, that kept me guessing until the end.

Steve Martini has been an old favourite. He crafts his characters in a way that you really get involved with them and are keen to know how their life unfolds. He does not disappoint in Blood Flag - not only are his characters real - flawed as well as likeable, multifaceted, he has had women play significant roles in this story. The historical connection is intriguing and I must check if there really was a Blood Flag. The end is a shocker.

This is another great book by Steve Martini with his two attorney partners involved in another set of mysterious deaths. It has some fascinating history woven into the story which makes it even more real. And I appreciate that this books reminds us of just how awful Hitler was. Some today use Hitler's name to insult people who are surely not close to being Hitler.

This was first Paul Madriani book to read. The author does a good job of allowing it to be a stand alone giving history when it's necessary. I thought he did a great job with the plot line, kept it moving, redirecting your attention as necessary, and made me gasp even though I thought I saw it coming.

Steve Martini’s Paul Madriani Series are fast paced legal thrillers with well crafted plots which will have you guessing until the end. Attorney Paul Madriani just seems to attract clients who draw him into mysterious situations that in turn draw Madriani into unraveling the threads to help his clients.

Well,this will keep your reading into the middle of the night. A thrilling page turner with some WWII history attached. The only thing I'd like is more character development of the "villian". Like what was their backstory that made them do what they did.

Paul's intern is murdered and her death is connected to a client who is charged with killing her father. The investigation leads back to Hitler's reign and the discovery of a blood flag. Fast read. Good complicated plot. I rate this a 5.0.
