Blockbuster bestselling author Lisa Scottoline is back with
Corrupted, a novel of breathtaking legal suspense about one woman's
fight for justice--at all costs.
Bennie Rosato, the founder of the Rosato & DiNunzio law firm, hides her
big heart beneath her tough-as-nails exterior and she doesn't like to
fail. Now, a case from her past shows her how differently things might
have turned out. Thirteen years ago, Bennie Rosato took on Jason
Lefkavick, a twelve-year-old boy who was sent to a juvenile detention
center after fighting a class bully. Bennie couldn't free Jason, and to
this day it's the case that haunts her. Jason has grown up in and out of
juvenile prison, and his adulthood hasn't been any easier. Bennie no
longer represents those accused of murder, but when Jason is indicted
for killing the same bully he fought with as a kid, she sees no choice
but to represent him. She doesn't know whether or not to believe his
claims of innocence, but she knows she owes him for past failures--of
the law, of the juvenile justice system, and of herself. Forced to
relive the darkest period of her life, Bennie will do everything in her
power to get the truth and justice.
