Lisa has always had a passion for books, but not only for the wonderful words written on the pages, but the actual pages themselves. She loves the crisp white sheets with their perfect lines of type, the weighty feel of the book in her hands, and the various subtle design elements that make each book unique and individual. So it goes without saying, that each time one of her books arrives fresh off the presses, it is an incredibly exhilarating experience for Lisa. It is more than just the excitement of seeing the final result of a years' worth of hard work for the first time, but the realization that once again her dream has become a reality. Mary DiNunzio is back! After a four book hiatus, Lisa Scottoline’s beloved and most requested character resurfaces in the New York Times bestselling author’s new suspense novel, LADY KILLER. As with all her novels, the thrills and page-turning action of LADY KILLER are secondary only to her unforgettable characters and strong, sexy, smart women who get themselves in—and out—of trouble. Mary DiNunzio started it all 15 books ago, and now with 20 million of Lisa's books in print in over 20 languages, her return in LADY KILLER is greatly anticipated by both readers and reviewers. The reappearance of Mary DiNunzio marks a very personal milestone for Lisa. Since the last Mary novel, KILLER SMILE, Lisa suffered the loss of her beloved father, Frank. It wasn’t until she sat down to write the book, following his death, that she realized how much her father molded the character of Mr. DiNunzio, Mary’s father. For Lisa it was simply too hard to write about the DiNunzios, and oddly it wasn’t until she wrote her last novel, DADDY’S GIRL, that she got her mojo back and felt ready to write about the characters she missed so much. In LADY KILLER, all of Mary DiNunzio’s teenage angst comes flooding back when her high school nemesis, Trish Gambone (dubbed “Trash” by Mary) comes seeking her help. It doesn’t matter that Mary is now the rainmaker of Rosato & Associates, Trish’s mere presence is enough to make Mary feel like she’s at the bottom of the food chain. As it turns out, however, Trish’s life has taken a horrifying turn. She is terrified of her live-in boyfriend, an abusive South Philly mobster, who just happens to be one of Mary’s ex-boyfriends. When Trish vanishes, Mary makes it her personal mission to find her longtime enemy, and works against the clock to save her life. Complete with a Scottoline style shocking surprise ending, DiNunzio is forced to confront some very uncomfortable truths about her own past and the profound effects of lifelong love — and hate.
