โฆ Synopsis
E-book extras: "A Little More About Lisa"; "One Night on My Book Tour": Essay; "The Novels" (Chapter One from each of Lisa's eight prior novels). How many people get to solve their own murder? In Courting Trouble, New York Times bestselling author Lisa Scottoline is back with another fast-paced thriller that sends a young woman lawyer racing to find out who's trying to kill her -- after she's wrongly been reported murdered. Anne Murphy is smart, gorgeous, and young -- the red-headed rookie at the Philadelphia law firm of Rosato & Associates. She leaves town for the Fourth of July weekend to prepare for a high-profile trial, but when she buys her morning newspaper, her own photo is plastered all over the front page. And the headline - LAWYER MURDERED - supposedly refers to her. Anne sets out to find her killer, playing dead in order to stay alive. The investigation takes all of Anne's boldness and ingenuity - plus a pair of red satin hot pants. But her knack for courting trouble makes it almost impossible for Anne to play well with others, defend the lawsuit, and fight her urge to sleep with the enemy. Then an unexpected event places her in lethal jeopardy and leaves her with everything to lose - including her life.

Book Description
Handing her house-keys to a cat sitter and fleeing to a quiet beach house, Anne Murphy thinks she's found the perfect way to escape the mayhem. That is until she sees her photograph on the front page of the morning newspaper under a headline proclaiming that she's been brutally murdered. While the rest of the city celebrates Independence Day, Anne is plunged into a nightmare scenario. She cannot rely on the police, for they have already allowed her stalker to slip through their hands once. Instead, playing dead to stay alive, she turns to her new colleague at the all-female law firm, Rosato and Associates. It will take all their combined ingenuity and nerve to track down the killer before it's too late.
