"Generously plotted and emotionally wide-ranging. You'll lap up Scottoline's latest. Scottoline makes us remember why legal thrillers became so popular -- and so entertaining." --Kirkus Reviews

In The Vendetta Defense, Lisa Scottoline, ,b>New York Times bestselling author of Moment of Truth and Mistaken Identity, tells a wonderfully rich story of past sins, love and justice.
