Publisher Description
The third electrifying book in #1 bestselling author Lisa Scottoline’s Rosato & Associates series has criminal lawyer Marta Richter in a race to prove one man’s innocence.
“Lisa Scottoline writes riveting thrillers that keep me up all night, with plots that twist and turn.”--Harlan Coben
Criminal lawyer Marta Richter is hours away from winning an acquittal for her client, millionaire businessman Elliot Steere. Elliot is on trial for the murder of a homeless man who had tried to carjack him. But as the jury begins deliberations, Marta discovers the chilling truth about her client’s innocence.
Taking justice into her own hands, she sets out to prove the truth, with the help of two young associates. In an excruciating game of beat-the-clock with both the jury and the worst blizzard to hit Philadelphia in decades, Marta will learn that the search for justice isn’t only rough—it can also be deadly.

"One of the best books I've read in a long time! Lisa grabbed you in the first paragraph and didn't let you go until the last page. Great cast of strong, determined women who would not rest until justice was served. This will be one of my all-time favorite books."
— Barb (5 out of 5 stars)

" I was so cold while reading this book! All you have to do is have fictional characters butt deep in snow and *I* freeze my tail off reading their adventures! Good read. "

" Not as good as the previous entry in this series, but still an enjoyable read. "
— Stephanie, 9/26/2013 -
" The characters and story line was great. The writing left a lot to be desired. The constant use of the "f" word took away from me giving any higher rating. If you took the "f" word out of this book, I bet it would cut 100 pages off the length. "
— Daniel, 6/19/2013 -
" Meh.... Had few and far between moments. Way too much bullshit!!! Sorry no other way to say it. Way too much going on and no reason for it. It is like a soap opera playing out. Geez! Onto the next book in the series. Cross your fingers it will get better for me!!! PLEASE!!!! "

" I liked it but the end wrapped up pretty quick. "
— Katie, 2/22/2013 -

— Lori, 1/13/2013 -
" Loved the plot changes...kept me guessing "
— Crystal, 10/21/2012 -
" I usually like this author, but I found this book started really slow. It took me a long time to get interested in the storyline - I kept picking up other books or magazines instead. It did pick up the pace and finish strong. "
— Milah, 5/2/2012 -
" I couldn't put this down - looks like I found a new author and genre to enjoy. Although this book did read a little like a lifetime movie, and had a few too many characters and details- it was still good "
— Amy, 3/2/2012 -

" 3.5 stars. Good story, a bit predictable, funny audio performance by Barbara Rosenblat, but a little too much language and violence for me. "

— Julie, 7/26/2010 -
" Another great story with another fascinating character with a complex back story that comes out in bits and pieces as the book unfolds. Scottoline is a master at characterization in the midst of the plot-driven genre of mystery/suspense. Impressive. "

" Riveting! Had me on edge the whole time and had trouble putting the book down. This one is a keeper!! "
— Rena, 3/27/2010 -
" I've been a fan since she feed me tasty cakes at a book reading. Her books are dependably enjoyable, and obviously written by a (once) practicing attorney given the dead-on details of associate life. "
