From Publishers Weekly: Double jeopardy is more than just a legal term in this taut smart courtroom drama by Edgar Award winner Scottoline. Bennie Rosato, the irrepressible head of an all-female Philadelly law firm, moves to center stage after playing a supporting role in the author's previous novel, Rough Justice. Bennie's client is tough, manipulative Alice Connolly, charged w/ murdering her police detective boyfriend, who may/may not have been a drug dealer. Complicating matters Alice claims to be Bennie's twin sister. Despite her emotional reaction to this revelation & her mother's deteriorating health, Bennie puts her personal & professional life on the line, immersing herself in the case. A web of corruption may have enveloped the prosecuting attorney & judge who are now trying Alice's case. Scottoline effectively alternates her settings between prison, law office, courtroom & the streets. Readers familiar w/her work will enjoy the continuing evolution of the characters' relationships. Scottoline falters occasionally by resorting to ethnic stereotypes, particularly in her dialogue, but generally succeeds in creating a brisk, multilayered thriller that plunges Rosato & Associates into a maelstrom of legal, ethical & familial conundrums, culminating in an intricate, dramatic, intense courtroom finale.
