About This Item
New York: St. Martin's Press, 2018. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. [10], 386, [4] pages. Signed by the author on the front free endpaper. Signed edition sticker on front of DJ. Lisa Scottoline (born July 1, 1955) is an American author of legal thrillers. Born in Philadelphia, Scottoline earned a B.A. in English magna cum laude (in three years) from the University of Pennsylvania, then graduated cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania Law School.[1] She clerked for judges at the state and federal appellate courts and later became a litigator at Dechert in Philadelphia. After the birth of her daughter, she left the law firm and started writing. Final Appeal received an Edgar Award, for excellence in crime fiction. She has since written 30 bestselling novels, including Look Again and Don't Go, both which reached number two on The New York Times Best Seller list. She has served as President of the Mystery Writers of America and won many other honors. Her novels have been translated into 30 languages. Derived from a Kirkus review: It had to happen sooner or later: Philadelphia's premier, mostly female legal partnership, Rosato and DiNunzio, gets sued for sex discrimination. Beginning with the accusatory press conference, things rapidly go from bad to worse. The London Technologies plaintiffs start wavering; the partners can't turn on the television without seeing Machiavelli crow; a predatory freelance reporter starts dogging the heroines; and Judy looks dead in the water-though Scottoline finds little time to develop those last two possibilities because she's preoccupied with tracing the effects of all this stress on Mary's late-term pregnancy. Not even a mother's love could triumph over the dark doings laid out with such professional relish--including a sudden late-breaking turn from incredibly bad luck to incredibly good. Scottoline, who obviously knows her readers inside out, hits every mark, and the results are never less than pleasurable, down to the last satisfying twist.
