The Warriors by Paul Batista

The Warriors by Paul Batista

USA Today best-selling author

High-stakes politics and the rivalry between two powerful women in the trial of the century

Legendary defense attorney Raquel Rematti represents a presidential candidate--and former First Lady of an ISIS-assassinated President--Senator Angelina Baldesteri in the most watched and explosive trial of the 21st Century. The Senator, a Democrat, sees it as a vendetta show trial orchestrated by the current Republican US President, his Republican Attorney General, and an ambitious Republican United States Attorney in Manhattan. At the trial, a year before the election, the Senator faces charges of election fraud, tax evasion, and money laundering; each of which could deem her unfit for office and all but remove her from the Presidential race. As the epic trial unfolds, Raquel is staggered by her client's naked ambition and the extent of the complex relationships the Senator keeps hidden in a mounting trail of lies. Every aspect of the Senator's life is inundated with intrigue. When the swirling forces start getting lethal, Raquel needs to extricate herself from the venom of these illicit and treacherous connections. These two powerful women keep things professional in the courtroom under the eyes of a crusty old judge, but once outside, they pit themselves against each other, warrior to warrior. At the end, only one will be left standing.

"Paul Batista scores 100% with his new novel, The WarriorsTwo strong women locked in battle in and out of a courtroom coupled with murder, money laundering, and constant mystery.

"Powerful courtroom scenes and well-drawn characters are pluses ... fans of TV commentator Batista won't want to miss this one." -- Publishers Weekly
"There are too few legal thrillers with women courtroom warriors. This page turning true to life super thriller helps to remedy this bias. Batista's characters jump off the page. They are as real as they are fascinating. A great read." -- Alan Dershowitz, author of both fiction and non-fiction
" The Warriors is immaculately plotted, as you'd expect of such a credentialed author. So for maximum enjoyment, focus on the courtroom and crime action, and let the wild ride carry this thriller." New York Journal of Books
"A real pleasure here is the literate language in the courtroom clashes, plus electric scenes stolen by diminutive, ancient judge Naomi Goldstein." Booklist
"Slide over John Grisham and Scott Turow and make room on your narrow bench for Paul Batista to join you as a fellow top legal thriller author." Killer Nashville
