Rough Justice

Summary

Best-selling author Lisa Scottoline's thrillers have been used by bar associations across the country to examine legal and ethical issues in our civil and criminal justice systems. With the insight, plot, and pacing of a master, Scottoline-an Edgar Award-winner-probes the heart of the lawyer-client privilege in this riveting, ground-breaking look at the legal system. As the jury begins to deliberate, defense attorney Marta Richter's millionaire businessman client Elliot Steere lets slip that he murdered the homeless man who tried to carjack him. Betrayed and insulted, she's digging for evidence while a hired thug and the worst blizzard in decades are bearing down on her. Can Richter tip the scales of justice for her client, or will she be killed trying? Narrator Barbara Rosenblat captures with gusto Scottoline's breakneck pacing, vivid characters, and realistic dialogue. The stunning action in Rough Justice will keep you on edge and make you want to hear more from Scottoline. If you enjoy this book, then you may want to try Running From the Law.
