Synopsis"Scottoline knows the simple yet magical secret at the heart of compelling suspense fiction." -- Philadelphia Inquirer In the sixth riveting thriller in #1 bestselling author Lisa Scottoline's Rosato & Associates series, a lawyer is handed the case that could make her career--and jeopardize her life. Judy Carrier takes the case of her career to defend Anthony Lucia, fondly known as "Pigeon Tony," who freely admits to killing his lifelong enemy in order to settle a personal vendetta. Her client's guilt, however, is only the beginning of Judy's problems. The victim's family wants revenge and is determined to finish off Pigeon Tony and Judy before the case goes to trial. Then there's Pigeon Tony's hunky grandson, who makes Judy think about everything but the law. In a case steeped in blood and memory, it will take brains and a lot of luck to save Pigeon Tony. But if anyone will see justice done, it's this gutsy girl who will risk everything to win--including her life., In The Vendetta Defense, New York Times bestselling author Lisa Scottoline delivers a wonderfully rich, vivid story of past sins, love, and justice. 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 fifty 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.

Still my favorite of Lisa Scottoline's fiction
This is the first Lisa Scottoline book I ever read, & it still holds up against all of her other outstanding works. After hearing her share the real life memory from her youth that triggered it last night in Cleveland, it somehow resonates even more. The plot and characters are compelling. The three Tony's often steal the show in endearing & fantastic ways. Her insights into how we think and why we react to circumstances both of our own design & those outside our control are spot on. Lisa has a way of bringing humor to tense situations that is entirely natural & can evoke laughter and tears, sometimes simultaneously. Her craftsmanship of the back stories, particularly Pigeon Tony's, are at once simple & complex & completely relatable. Her command of language is, frankly, quite beautiful. If you are unfamiliar with any of the characters in this series, or for that matter with Ms. Scottoline's work in general, this is a very nice place to start. I dare you not to fall in love with her characters, of which South Philly is one. If you have previously read her work, & have not yet read The Vendetta Defense, you, my friend, are missing a true gem, & owe it to yourself to rectify this oversight. As an aside: Thank you Francesca for evoking such love in your mother that she left her former life as an attorney, stayed home with her beloved daughter & perused the craft of writing in order to stay home with you 30+ years ago. Without you we would not have such wonderful friends as these.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
