I found this Scottoline classic on a shelf at the Iowa City Public Library reserved for staff favorite picks. This is a good choice for lovers of mysteries and thrillers. It's classic Scottoline.
This story has a little different twist because the gals of Rosato and Associates law firm are not the star players. Instead, the firm has been hired to assist a world-famous lawyer, Marta Richter in the defense of a wealthy businessman who is accused of deliberately killing a homeless man. The defendant confesses his guilt to Richter just after the jury retires to determine its verdict. Of course, Richter can't reveal the confession because of attorney-client privilege. She has to find new evidence and make it known in a way that will not cast a doubt on herself or Rosato.
The killer is able to wreak havoc even behind bars to make sure no one who might cross him remains alive. His confession not only puts Richter in danger, but lands one of the Rosato associates in the hospital. Just when it appears that all is lost, a new twist brings a surprising end to this tale.
