About this title

Synopsis

Edgar Award-winner Lisa Scottoline returns to the courtroom with a taut and intriguing legal/crime thriller, sparkling with wit and energy.

As a fast-talking, wisecracking rebel with a cause, Rita Morrone makes one tough poker player – and an even tougher trial lawyer. Whether she’s at a card table or before a jury, she loves taking risks and hates to lose – a volatile mix in the City of Brotherly Love.

Morrone takes on the defence of a distinguished federal judge, the Honourable Fiske Hamilton, who’s been accused of sexually harassing his young secretary in one of the most high-profile cases in the country. And it’s no coincidence that Morrone and Judge Hamilton’s son are romantic roommates.

Then the action turns deadly, and Morrone finds herself at the centre of a murder case. The judge is the prime suspect, with a big-time motive and a see-through alibi. Though criminal law is not her game, Morrone probes deep into the murder, uncovering a secret life and suspects in shocking places. When the killer viciously ups the ante, Morrone decides to end this lethal game. She lays it all on the line for the highest stakes ever – her life.

Filled with surprising plot twists, vivid characters, stinging wit, and gripping suspense, Running from the Law demonstrates why Lisa Scottoline is the hottest player in the legal thriller game.

Review

‘[Morrone] tells her own story with a great deal of verve, zest and humour’
Evening Standard

‘Scottoline is wickedly funny... Mary Higgins Clark meets Susan Isaacs meets John Grisham’
Philadelphia Magazine

Store Description

We are an Internet based business that has been selling books Internationally for going on 25 years. Our inventory consists of 15,000+ titles(prox)of which 95% are Used and/or Rare with a few new items. We try to stock items that appeal to all readers from signed limiteds to comics and everything in between. We tend to specialize in Horror, Suspense Thrillers and Modern Firsts. We don't claim to be the last word on knowledge on anything but know the most about these genres. We stock everything we can find by the following authors: Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Clive Barker, Anne Rice, John Sandford, James Lee Burke, Joe R. Lansdale, Robert R. McCammon, J. K. Rowling to name a few. I am not into long descriptions for my books. What descriptions there are concern the physical shape of the book, not content. I am generally hard on my books when describing them. I do use the usual letter grading but describe every defect that the book has to a point that you may not think that you want to buy it. There will never be a surprise when you receive a book from me. Feel free to email or call if you have any questions. I have a lot more satisfied customers then I do unhappy ones. You can return any book that you buy from me that doesn't arrive AS ADVERTISED for a full refund including return shipping costs.
