Review:
From the Publisher:
‘Lisa Scottoline has been added to my short list for must-read-authors... her humor cuts to the heart of the issue with laser-like accuracy’
Janet Evanovich
‘Quick, witty, flavorful, and absorbing’
Richard North Patterson
Lawyer Judy Carrier takes the case of her career when an
elderly pigeon racer named Anthony Lucia is arrested for the
murder of his lifelong enemy Angelo Coluzzi. "Pigeon Tony," as
he's known to all his South Philly neighbors, confesses he killed
Coluzzi because of a vendetta begun more than 50 years ago, a
blood feud that has brought great tragedy to Pigeon Tony's life.
Her client's guilt, however, is only the beginning of Judy's
problems. The Coluzzi family wants revenge, and they are
determined to finish off Pigeon Tony and Judy before the case
can go to trial. And if that isn't enough, Judy's got to contend
with Tony's magnetic grandson, Frank, a man who makes her
think about everything but the law, and her boss, the
no-nonsense Bennie Rosato.
In a case steeped in blood and memory, it will take a stroke of
brilliance to save Pigeon Tony. But if anyone just might see
justice done, it's this gutsy young attorney who'll risk everything
to win including her life.
