Devil's Corner by Lisa Scottoline
Devil's Corner by Lisa Scottoline
On her way to meet a confidential informant, Assistant U.S. Attorney Vicki Allegretti finds herself facing a loaded 9-mm Glock semiautomatic weapon, wielded by a panicky teenager. Violence is the last thing this neophyte lawyer expects. The case is easy, the kind given to new ADAs to help them cut their teeth. Yet almost before she has time to react, her partner and her informant are shot to death.
From that high-octane introduction to her job, Vicki vows to continue with the case and find the shadowy figure behind the deaths. Her decision will take her from the depths of the federal detention center to a row house on the street where she grew up, to the post suburbs where her parents now live.
