A young lawyer searches for her missing rival from high school and finds more than she bargained for, in the latest high-octane thriller from New York Times bestselling author
She´s bright, witty, and dynamically attractive. So why can´t Mary DiNunzio still get a date? While her love life is frozen, her career is heating up. She´s become quite a rainmaker at her law firm, attracting new clients from her loyal South Philly fan base. But of all the friends-from-down-the-block, second cousins, and ersatz uncles who come for help, that last person she expects to see is Trish Gambini, a super-foxy hair colorist--and Mary´s high school rival.
Back then, while Mary was becoming a straight-A president of the Latin Club and all around Most Likely to Achieve Sainthood, head Mean Girl/Slut Trish flunked religion and was one of the most popular girls in the class. But the once fearless teenager has become a woman terrified of her live-in boyfriend, Bobby Mancuso, an abusive, gun-toting drug dealer for the mob. Mary remembers Bobby very well. He was her first high school crush . . . and more.
Even though she´s is sympathetic to Trish´s plight, there´s really nothing Mary or the law can do. Right now this Italian girl has far too much on her plate to worry about Trish. She´s caught in the middle of a legal rumble between her father´s Dean Martin Fan Club and the Frank Sinatra Social Society. Dino´s fans are tired of the King of Cool being one-upped by Francis Albert, and they´re want to sue for emotional distress.
But that´s just the beginning of trouble for Mary. Trish suddenly vanishes, and then Bobby Mancuso. Until Bobby is found--dead. To prevent a riot and save her reputation among neighbors and family, the South Philly girl must find Trish and solve a murder. And she´ll do it her way, though maybe with a little help from Dean and Frank.
