Then Grace finds herself investigating a murder, unearthing a secret bank account and following a trail of bribery and judicial corruption that's stumped even the FBI. In no time at all, Grace under fire takes on a whole new meaning.

When attorney Jack Newlin discovers his wife dead in their home, he's convinced he knows who killed her – and is equally determined to hide the truth. He decides to frame himself for murder, and to seal his fate he hires the most inexperienced lawyer he can find: a reluctant rookie by the name of Mary DiNunzio from the hot Philadelphia firm of Rosato & Associates. But hiring Mary may turn out to be his biggest mistake. She doubts Jack's confession, and her ethics and instincts tell her she can't defend a man who wants to convict himself. Smarter, gutsier, and more persistent than she has any right to be, Mary sets out to prove what really happened – because, as any lawyer knows, a case is never as simple as it seems. And nothing is ever certain until the final moment of truth.

Lisa Scottoline was born on July 1, 1955, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. She is a daughter of Mary Scottoline and Frank Scottoline.
Lisa Scottoline studied at the University of Pennsylvania where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. Later she graduated cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
Lisa Scottoline started her career as a secretary for one of the judges on Pennsylvania's Supreme Court bench. Later she became an attorney in private practice at a Philadelphia firm, where she specialized in employment discrimination cases.
After the divorce, she decided to try her hand at another line of work. She wrote her first novel called Fairy Tale, and sent it to seven agents. Several editors bid for it, but in the end, Scottoline realized that she could write a successful work of fiction, and decided not to publish her novel because she did not want to be restricted to writing women's novels. She turned to her legal career for inspiration. In the late 1980s, after signing with an agent, Scottoline began writing her own attorney-in-danger cliffhanger.
Scottoline began her series of legal thrillers called Rosato & Associates in 1993 when she published her book Everywhere That Mary Went. Rosato & Associates series consists of eleven books.
In 2013, Scottoline began another series called Rosato & DiNunzio Novels. The series consists of such books as Accused, Betrayed, Corrupted and three more. Scottoline also wrote such novels as Final Appeal, Dirty Blonde, Every Fifteen Minutes, One Perfect Lie and others.
Together with her daughter, Francesca Serritella, she wrote nonfiction books such as "Best Friends, Occasional Enemies: The Lighter Side of Life as a Mother and Daughter", "Happy and Merry", "I See Life Through Rose-Colored Glasses" and more. Scottoline's latest book Someone Knows was published in 2019.
Scottoline reviews popular fiction and non-fiction, and her reviews have appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Philadelphia Inquirer. She writes a weekly column with her daughter Francesca Serritella for the Philadelphia Inquirer titled “Chick Wit” which is a witty and fun take on life from a woman’s perspective.
Scottoline also has taught a course she developed, “Justice and Fiction” at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
