About this item
Blockbuster author Lisa Scottoline returns to the all-female law firm of Rosato & Associates with Betrayed -- and this time, the case is more personal than ever. . . Maverick lawyer Judy Carrier has always championed the underdog. When Iris, the housekeeper and best friend of Judy's beloved aunt, is found dead of an apparent heart attack, Judy begins to suspect foul play. The circumstances of the death leave Judy with more questions than answers, and never before has murder struck so close to home. As she begins an investigation, Judy discovers a shocking truth that confounds her expectations and leads her in a completely different direction. Soon she finds herself plunged into a shadowy world of people who are so desperate that they cannot go to the police -- and where others are so ruthless that they prey on vulnerability.
