Young lawyer Mary DiNunzio gets a terrifying telephone call while she's working late, then goes home to find a threatening note in her apartment. When a lawyer close to her turns up dead, Mary begins to suspect that the case she's been working on - involving the suicide of an Italian-American in an internment camp during World War II - may not be ancient history after all. Add to that the fact that everybody around Mary has decided that she's not allowed to be a Young Widow anymore, and is fixing her up with blind dates from hell. Then a killer comes after her, and it's more than any girl can handle - but not any woman.

Seller's Description:
Good in good dust jacket. Outline: -Scottoline`s previous thrillers (Dead Ringer; Courting Trouble; etc. ) have featured the women of the all-female Philadelphia law firm Rosato and Associates and have concerned the usual elements of murder stalking bribery and corruption. This novel by the former trial lawyer and Edgar Award winner while embracing the requisite ingredients is especially engaging because of its personal angle: growing out of Scottoline`s discovery of her own grandparents` alien registration cards the book involves the case of an Italian-American who was interned during WWII. Amadeo Brandolini emigrated from Italy to Philadelphia where he started a family and worked as a fisherman. When the war broke out the FBI arrested and imprisoned him (along with 10000 other Italian-Americans). He lost everything and wound up committing suicide in the camp. Rosato and Associates` young star Mary DiNunzio steps up to represent Brandolini`s estate as it sues for reparations. Mary "grew up in South Philly where she`d learned to pop her gum wear high heels and work overtime" and silently prays to saints when she can`t find things. This case a pro bono one means a lot to her; the local small business owners and family friends she grew up with want retribution for Brandolini as much as she does. Mary puts all of her energy into the job and when clues suggest Brandolini`s death may have been a homicide she becomes even more enthralled. As Mary learns more the enemy camp (another Italian-American family the Saracones) turns its murderous eye on her. Scottoline skillfully weaves a complicated gripping and fast-paced tale at turns comical nerve-wracking and enlightening. -> the publisher of this PAPERBACK book is Pan The date of this copy is 2005 booksalvation have grade it as Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Rosato And Associates Series.
