Early Praise for DEVIL'S CORNER

"Vicki Allegretti always wondered what it would feel like to look into the barrel of a loaded gun, and now she knew."

From the very first sentence of Devil's Corner, Lisa, a New York Times bestselling author, launches an action-packed tale of murder and conspiracy set on the gritty streets of Philadelphia, but this time she departs from the halls of Rosato & Associates, and delivers a stand-alone thriller featuring a gutsy new heroine, Vicki Allegretti.

When prosecutor Vicki Allegretti arrives at a rowhouse to meet a confidential informant, she finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time-and is almost shot to death. She barely escapes with her life, but cannot save the two others gunned down before her disbelieving eyes. Stunned and heartbroken, Vicki tries to figure out how a routine meeting on a minor case became a double homicide.

Then she sets out to see justice done. She can identify the killers-now all she has to do is find them.

What critics are already saying about Devil's Corner

"Scottoline's ability to mix humor with serious subject matter, combined with her intense research of inner city drug trafficking and a side plot involving Vicki's love life, make for compelling entertainment."
— Publishers Weekly

"Although we miss the all-female Philadelphia law firm of Rosato & Associates, whose members are the heroines of Scottoline's popular series, this stand-alone thriller makes an entertaining and exciting change of pace....Scottoline at her best."
— Booklist

"DEVIL'S CORNER is a powerful action thriller. The story line grips the audience, but some realistic humor and a subplot involving the heroine's love life eases the accelerator just enough. Lisa Scottoline is at her best with this stand alone urban thriller."
— Harriet Klausner, #1 rated reviewer for Amazon.com

"Scottoline gives the high-spirited, hard pressed firm of Rosato & Associates a break to introduce an equally gutsy assistant U.S. attorney....Scottoline's customary grit and humor."
— Kirkus Reviews

"This is the first book I've read, written by Lisa Scottoline. Wow! The friendship between Vicki and Reheema was done smoothly and with humor. I loved it! When reading a book like this, it becomes a movie in my mind. Characters are cast and the suspense is so real, we have to finish to learn what happens."
