Scottoline, Lisa. Rosato & Associates novels

First published: 2002

"Anne Murphy is a redheaded rookie at the Philadelphia law firm of Rosato & Associates who wakes up one morning to front-page headlines proclaiming LAWYER MURDERED above her own picture. To find the killer, Anne's got to play dead if she wants to stay alive. Though she tries to go it alone, she quickly realizes she'll have to trust people she barely knows -- colleagues who hate her, a homicide squad that wants her out of the crime-fighting business, and a new love who inconveniently happens to be opposing counsel. But her knack for courting trouble makes it almost impossible for Anne to play well with others, and an unexpected event places her in legal jeopardy that leaves her with everything to lose - including her life" --
