For sale is this double cassette abridged audio book by Lisa Scottoline. Entitled The Vendetta Defence, this is the sixth in her Rosato & Associates series and is read by Lorelei King. It has a running time of 3 hours approx.

Synopsis: "Lawyer Judy Carrier takes the case of her career when Anthony Lucia, a 79-year-old pigeon fancier known to his neighbours as Pigeon Tony, is arrested for murder. Far from denying his guilt, the old man makes no secret of the fact that he killed his lifelong enemy Angelo Coluzzi - and what's more, he's glad he did. His only defence is that he was carrying out a vendetta begun sixty years ago in Mussolini's Italy, a blood feud that has brought great tragedy to Pigeon Tony's life.

Persuading an American jury to accept such a plea turns out to be the least of Judy's problems, for the Coluzzi family wants revenge and they are determined to finish off Pigeon Tony and Judy before the case can go to trial. And if that isn't enough, Judy's got to contend with Tony's magnetic grandson, Frank, a man who makes her think about everything but the law.

In a case steeped in blood and memory, it will take a stroke of brilliance to save Pigeon Tony. But if anyone just might see justice done, it's this gutsy young attorney who'll risk everything to win...including her life."
