Daddy's Girl
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
From the New York Times bestselling author of Dirty Blonde comes a fast-paced thriller in which a young law professor must unravel a conspiracy to see justice done
Law professor Natalie Greco's life is going according to plan, with a boyfriend handpicked by her father and tenure status only a review board away. Then, during a visit to a prison with her colleague Angus, a riot explodes. Rushing to the aid of a fatally wounded prison guard, Nat is privy to his last words—words that, unknown to Nat, can unlock the key to a dangerous conspiracy.
Suddenly Nat, A Girl Who Always Plays By The Rules, finds threats around every curve: ruthless killers desperate to keep her from exposing their secret; police who are convinced she is responsible for a cold-blooded murder; and sexy Angus, whose mere presence makes her question her dedication to her long-term boyfriend.
With her life on the line, her career in the balance, and her boyfriend on hold, Nat has to go into hiding to buy enough time to figure out the hidden secrets behind one man's last words.

"Breathless thriller...if a good rollercoaster is what you want, step up and have your ticket punched." — People
"In the tale's most absorbing pages, [the main character] takes it on the lam, showing all the resourcefulness of Scottoline's other Philadelphia lawyers in disguising herself, boosting a new set of wheels and evading pursuit en route to a clever and well-prepared surprise." — Kirkus Reviews
"This one finds the author in good form, combining suspense and character-building effectively." — Booklist
"A nonstop joyride all the way to the finish." — Library Journal
"Fast pacing, crisp dialogue, taut storyline, a bit of illicit romance—Daddy's Girl is Scottoline in top form all the way." — BookPage
"Chick lit for the Sue Grafton set." — Entertainment Weekly
"Scottoline's heroines are well-rounded women who aren't special just because of their profession....[Scottoline] delivers this particular ordering of chaos with page-turning success." — Philadelphia Inquirer
"First fashion-savvy law prof Natalie Greco gets locked inside a prison during a riot, then she's framed for murder. Scottoline's 14th features so many plot twists the pages seem to turn themselves." — People
"Anyone...who needs a good laugh should scuttle over to the nearest bookstore and pick up a copy of Scottoline's latest, Daddy's Girl." — Washington Post
"Lisa Scottoline is a master chef, and suspense and the law are her favorite ingredients. Daddy's Girl is the perfect mix, with a dash of romance added for flavor." — Cosmopolitan

December 18, 2006
The undistinguished academic career of Natalie "Nat" Greco, a mousy and naïve law professor at the University of Pennsylvania, takes an unexpected turn at the start of this less than compelling legal thriller from bestseller Scottoline (Dirty Blonde
). When an attractive male colleague, Angus Holt, convinces Nat to accompany him on a teaching assignment at a nearby prison, a sudden riot puts them both in peril. Nat finds herself desperately attempting to save the life of a guard, apparently stabbed by an inmate during the fracas. The dying man asks her to pass on his last words to his wife, but possessing knowledge of this cryptic message proves dangerous. Nat finds herself accused of murder and must evade the law while also tracking down the bad guys. Her methods more often resemble that of Nancy Drew than an Ivy League professor, and the plot suffers by comparison with Peter Abrahams's gritty End of Story
(2006), which makes better use of a similar theme. 11-city author tour.

Starred review from May 28, 2007
Scottoline’s breathless new thriller doesn’t make it easy for a female reader. The male-heavy cast of characters, including heroine Natalie “Nat” Greco’s overly protective daddy and her sports crazy brother, have Rosenblat gruffing up enough to fray even the most flexible vocal chords. She must also keep readjusting her pacing as Nat stumbles from a quiet life as a law professor into a chaotic nightmare filled with prison riots, murders and life and love on the run. The fun and suspense begins when Nat is smitten with Angus Holt, a fellow prof who seems to be the antithesis of the men in her testosterone-filled family. Rosenblat gives the thoughtful, ponytailed Angus a voice so mellow you can almost smell his patchouli incense. Nat follows him to a teaching class at a local prison where a riot breaks out. A dying prison guard’s whispered secret places Nat in ultimate jeopardy. From there, the mousy brunette law professor transforms herself into a blonde survivor who can dodge bullets, homicidal truckers and dogged lawmen. Scottoline provides the physical and psychological changes, but Rosenblat makes the metamorphosis credible by subtly replacing Nat’s timid voice with one full of strength and determination. Simultaneous release with the HarperCollins hardcover (Reviews, Dec. 18).
