About LADY KILLER, Library Journal raves:

"Scottoline's latest is a thoroughly enjoyable read with warm, wonderful characters, gentle humor, and some unexpected twists and turns. Highly recommended."

Mary DiNunzio is back! After a four-book hiatus, Lisa's beloved and most requested character resurfaces in her new book, LADY KILLER, due out on February 19, 2008. In LADY KILLER, all of Mary DiNunzio's teenage angst comes flooding back when her high school nemesis, Trish Gambone (dubbed "Trash" by Mary) seeks 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.
