Scottoline, Lisa - Rough Justice

Stunning legal thriller from Edgar-winning U.S. writer. Rough Justice
launches a riveting new series and establishes Lisa Scottoline as an
undisputed master of one of fiction's hottest genres. Criminal lawyer
Marta Richter is about to win an acquital for her latest client,
millionaire businessman Elliot Steere. Then Steere lets slip that he's
sold Marta a false self-defence claim and that he murdered the homeless
man who tried to carjack him. A furious Marta resolves to discover the
evidence that will convict Steere -- before the jury returns with its
verdict. In a race against time and the worst blizzard Philadelphia has
seen in years, Marta drafts help from two able associates, Mary DiNunzio
and Judy Carrier, from a local firm, Rosata & Associates. When
Benedetta 'Bennie' Rosato, managing partner of Rosato & Associates,
realizes Marta is determined to convict her own client and ruin the law
firm in the process, Bennie acts to thwart Marta's plans and bring
Steere to justice her own way. But Elliot Steere won't let anyone stand
between him and freedom. Even from his jail cell, he has the cunning and
connections to kill again...
