In the second thrilling novel in New York Times bestselling author Lisa Scottoline’s Rosato & Associates series, a successful lawyer now finds herself on the opposite side of the bench when she’s framed for murder.
Benedetta “Bennie” Rosato is a maverick lawyer who prosecutes police misconduct and excessive-force cases, and business at her firm has never been better.
Then, without warning, a savage murder tears the firm apart. All evidence points to Bennie, who has motive aplenty and an unconfirmable alibi. Her world turns upside down as the lawyer becomes the client and the cops she once prosecuted are now after her with a vengeance.
To prove her innocence, Bennie probes deep into the murder. Then another killing takes place. Running for her life, Bennie is a fugitive armed only with her wits and courage. She will find the real killer—or die trying.

"I enjoyed this book. It really kept me interested. I kept reading because I couldn't wait to see what happened next. I learned quickly that the person that "did it" is usually one of the least expected in Lisa Scottoline's books so I couldn't wait to find out who it was. " — Stacia (4 out of 5 stars)

“A lovely combination of high energy, imagination, and nasty good humor mostly directed against lawyers…You’ll find yourself laughing and gasping all the way.”
“This smooth tale moves.”
“A witty…tale of mayhem in the fast lane.”
“Bennie, a delightful heroine, deserves an encore; and, again, Scottoline merits a big round of applause.”
" I have enjoyed reading all of Lisa Scottoline's books. Mystery/suspense. "
" Can't get enough of Rosato and Associates. Good clean reading "
" Enjoyed this book. I'm going to continue reading Scottoline's Rosato & Associates series. "
" This was a good book. I love Bennie, the main character. I like it when an author uses a main character that isn't boring or stupid. "
" Once I got into the story I could hardly put the book down. "
" Edgier murder mystery series . . . I like it! "
" read it in a day at my mom's, i was determined to relax :) "
" Really enjoyable, I couldn't put it down. "
" Another winner from Ms. Lisa. If any of you haven't discovered this author yet, you really should. "
" Once I started reading this I almost couldn't put it down, love these types of books!! "
" This was a really quick read for me...couldn't put it down. Wasn't quite sure how this one was going to get solved. It is basically the start of the Rosato series so looking forward to reading more. "
" This series just keeps getting better and better!! "
" Very good book!! Very fast paced! Read it in only 24 hours! I just couldn't put it down! "
" The second in the series of Rosato and Associates, I liked this one as well. "
" Great writing style...not as predictable as most books in this gentre...but still too many f-words. I find the use of that word jarring in the text. "
" I'm enjoying this author. She's like a female John Grisham because her characters are lawyers in large firms. Her characters are interesting and the plots are suspenseful. The ending was a little weak as the motive unfolded but it was still a fun read. "
" completely unbelievable "
" a fun read with lots of plot twists "
" I like Lisa Scottoline for the insider feel of her books with little details of lawyerdom. That said, this book is terribly dated. There is a computer whiz (hidden files!) and closeted BFF (Giiirrlfriend!). Many *wince* moments. "
" Just an okay mystery. Lot's of running around, no clear motive and a big ta-da finish. Not alot of character development, but lots of twists. Again, just an okay read. "
" Quick entertaining read. Some language and some values that aren't mine but entertaining. "
" I love Lisa Scottoline books. I have to go back and read them again in order to review properly. "
" One of a series of thrillers set in Philadelphia and starring attorney Bennie Rosato. Once again, I'm reading a series all out of order. This is an early one (#2) I believe and gave me lots of background for books I've read that fall later in the series. Solidly entertaining. "
" This was a page-turner all the way through. Bennie got deeper and deeper in the midst of murders and you couldn't imagine how she was going to get out of all it and clear her name. Loved this book! "
" good readwell written and interestinggood writerworth your time "
" easy to read but not her best "
" OK pool side read. May try another Scottoline book based on the reaction from the other reviews. In this story, Bennie, the lawyer-heroine, had quite the smart mouth when faced with a murder accusation- guess that's what makes her a popular read but I found her attitude rather irritating. "
" Somehow Scottoline has me believing every action and event in this story, even as they add up to something a bit over the edge of general believability. Bennie Rosato is enough of a bigger-than-life character that it works. Scottoline is a damn good writer. "
" I really enjoyed this, the first book by Lisa Scottoline I've read. I liked the protagonist, the story, the suspense, and the humor. Looking forward to the next Bennie Rosato mystery, where we meet the "evil twin." "
" Great read.. This is a good series "
