About this ebook

When attorney Jack Newlin discovers his wife dead in their home, he's convinced he knows who killed her—and is equally determined to hide the truth. He decides to frame himself for murder, and to seal his fate he hires the most inexperienced lawyer he can find: a reluctant rookie by the name of Mary DiNunzio from the hot Philadelphia firm of Rosato & Associates. But hiring Mary may turn out to be his biggest mistake. She doubts Jack's confession, and her ethics and instincts tell her she can't defend a man who wants to convict himself. Smarter, gutsier, and more persistent than she has any right to be, Mary sets out to prove what really happened—because, as any lawyer knows, a case is never as simple as it seems. And nothing is ever certain until the final moment of truth.

Ratings and reviews

This was truly a wonderful book. The not guilty they could hire an lawyer with no experience he thought he could lie and get sent to jail for a crime he didn't commit but made it look like he did just wasn't going to happen. Not with Mary taking charge of it and doing everything by the book. She didn't believe him, she set out to make it right and to make the rightful person do the time. Another great hit for Lisa Scottoline.

Very good. A suspenseful mystery as well as a thriller. You won't see the end coming. Lots of twists and turns.
