Synopsis
Anthony "Pigeon Tony" Lucia admits that he murdered Angelo Coluzzi, but he insists that he's innocent of blame. Coluzzi, it seems, murdered Tony's young wife in Italy decades before, and the Italian tradition of vendetta makes Tony's act excusable. Young lawyer Judy Carrier agrees to take Tony's case, dubious defense and all. She soon finds herself targeted by the Philadelphia Mafia, who were Coluzzi's cronies.

Industry Reviews
"After reading Lisa Scottoline's new novel, THE VENDETTA DEFENSE, it's clear to me that this lawyer-turned-writer has joined the ranks of McBain and company. This book, her eighth, is charming--swift and suspenseful...yet graced with firm moral purpose."
Baltimore Sun - Michael Pakenham (03/18/2001)
"[A] suspenseful and often entertaining tale of murder and revenge."
Chicago Tribune - Chris Petrakos (04/07/2001)
"[THE VENDETTA DEFENSE is] a murder story, a thriller, a legal plot, a comedy, a love story...and probably more.... [Scottoline] sweeps her audience up in a luscious whirl of unforgettable characters, crisp plotting and taut action."
Philadelphia Inquirer - Sandy Bauers (04/29/2001)
