Publisher Description

How many people get to solve their own murder?

Anne Murphy is smart, gorgeous, and young, the red-headed rookie at the Philadelphia law firm of Rosato & Associates. She leaves town for the Fourth of July weekend to prepare for a high-profile trial, but when she buys her morning newspaper, her own photo is plastered all over the front page. And the headline -- LAWYER MURDERED -- supposedly refers to her. Anne sets out to find her killer, playing dead in order to stay alive.

She tries to go it alone but quickly realizes that she'll have to trust people she barely knows -- colleagues who hate her guts, a homicide squad who wants her out of the crime-fighting business, and a new love who inconveniently happens to be opposing counsel. The investigation takes all of Anne's boldness and ingenuity -- plus a pair of red satin hot pants. But her knack for courting trouble makes it almost impossible for Anne to play well with others, defend the lawsuit, and fight her urge to sleep with the enemy. Then an unexpected event places her in lethal jeopardy and leaves her with everything to lose -- including her life.

"This was my first Scottoline book. I have read many of them out of order but have found that it does not affect understanding. Love the female comaraderie. Contains violence and some profanity. "

The fourth of july holiday was here and the Anne had alot of work to get done. The lady offered to house sit and watch Anne's cat. On the spur of the moment Anne agreed. Within an hour she was in a rental car and on her way. She was at the rental house when the news came on that Anne had been killed in her own home that night. Anne was not dead and drove back to town to see what had happened. The lady who was cat and house sitting was murdered in Anne's house.
