RUNNING FROM THE LAW BY Lisa Scottoline

This is one of Scottoline's early books with female attorney, Rita Morrone who is 1/2 Italian and a dedicated attorney as well as a poker buff. As she defends a prominent federal judge accused of sexual harrassment, things get pretty sticky when the accuser ends up dead, murdered by ?.

A quote from USA Today, "Scottoline's writing style is SHARP, INTELLIGENT, FUNNY AND HIP.".................AND I will add, "good reads"
