Devil's Corner / Lisa Scottoline 400 p.
U.S. Attorney Vicki Allegretti's meeting with her confidential informant (CI) goes horribly wrong and she finds herself looking down the gun barrel while her CI is murdered upstairs. She just misses getting shot to death but her AFT partner dies in front of her. Resolved to find her partner's killer, she ignores her boss' orders to close the case. She forms an unlikely ally with the defendant in the case involving the dead CI, Reheema Bristow. Vicki is pugnacious and willing to take many risks to catch Morty's killer. Reheema is a product of the decaying Devil's Corner, Philadelphia. The interplay between the two so makes this legal suspense thriller. I so hoped that this would be the start of a new series.
