Problemas na Corte

Em Problemas na Corte, Lisa Scottoline está de volta com mais um thriller eletrizante, no qual uma advogada jovem, inteligente e bonita corre contra o tempo para descobrir quem planejou seu assassinato. Tudo começa quando Anne Murphy, a mais nova contratada do escritório de advocacia de Bennie Rosato, em Filadélfia, compra o jornal e vê a própria foto estampada na primeira página sob a manchete: ADVOGADA ASSASSINADA. Oficialmente, ela está morta. E precisa que todos continuem acreditando que morreu. Só assim terá uma chance de revelar a identidade do assassino e salvar a própria vida. Anne Murphy is smart, gorgeous, and young, the redheaded rookie at the Philadelphia law firm of Rosato & Associates. She leaves town for the Fourth of July weekend to prepare for a high-profile trial, but when she buys her morning newspaper, her own photo is plastered all over the front page. And the headline--- LAWYER MURDERED -- supposedly refers to her. Anne sets out to find her killer, playing dead in order to stay alive. She tries to go it alone but quickly realizes that she'll have to trust people she barely knows -- colleagues who hate her guts, a homicide squad that wants her out of the crime-fighting business, and a new love who inconveniently happens to be opposing counsel. The investigation takes all of Anne's boldness and ingenuity -- plus a pair of red satin hot pants. But her knack for courting trouble makes it almost impossible for Anne to play well with others, defend the lawsuit, and fight her urge to sleep with the enemy. Then an unexpected event places her in lethal jeopardy and leaves her with everything to lose -- including her life
