About this title

Synopsis

The moment that Vicki Allegretti, a Philadelphia born, wise-cracking, lively and energetic attorney, is held at gunpoint by a frightened looking teenager, she realises that investigating drug dealers is even more dangerous than she’d anticipated. Especially when she knows that her partner has been left dying over by the screen door. Then she meets Reheema Bristow, a suspect with brains, beauty and attitude to boot, and Vicki loses it with her, earning herself a suspension from work.

She heads off to her friend Dan for comfort, but how comfortable can you be with a happily married man whose very presence makes you tumble over your words and go weak at the knees? It’s all too much for Vicki, and ever hot headed, she decides to track down the teenager who nearly killed her. Her search leads her to another encounter with Reheema , and soon the women realise that they can help each other out. Downtown Philly may have seen some sights, but none quite so fast, feisty and fashionable as the Vicki and Reheema duo, snaking through the snow on wheels no car shop would sell a speedway driver, let alone a couple of girls out for a ride…

Fast-paced, brimming with fun, action and tremendous twists, DEVIL’S CORNER is Lisa Scottoline writing at the very height of her inimitable best.

'Scottoline's ability to mix humor with serious subject matter, combined with her intense research . . . make for compelling entertainment'
