She loves her family, too, but her boyfriend fits in better with the football-crazy Grecos than she does. Then a colleague, handsome Angus Holt, talks Nat into teaching a class at a local prison, and her world turns upside down. A violent prison riot breaks out, and Nat rushes to save the life of a mortally wounded guard whose last words are: "Tell my wife it's under the floor." Nat delivers the cryptic message, but before she knows it, she's suspected of murder and hiding from cops and killers alike. She is forced on the run to solve the riddle of the dead man's last words and to save her own life—and find real love. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Great ReadA great read by Lisa Scottoline as always. There were twists and turns along the way and it kept me turning the pages. Others have explained the book so I will pass on doing that but it left me wanting to pick up another of her books. I strongly suggest this book if you enjoy this genre. Rating: - Law professor gets involved in prison murderNat (Natalie) Greco was a young teacher attempting to get tenure at the University of Pennsylvania Law School but the attendance in her lecture class in law was so low that she became dejected inwardly, but never letting it show.

This book had a slow start but quickly added intense suspense. Nat has an overbearing family and a juvenile boyfriend who try to control all aspects of her life. Nat gets caught in a prison riot and the dying words of a prison guard changes her life forever. The words lead to Nat becoming a fugitive and achieving her independence from her family. The twists and turns are plentiful and was an enjoyable ... Read More Rating: - Don't give up on this one... it DOES get better!Natalie "Nat" Greco is a disgruntled law professor. Although she is up for tenure, she still finds it difficult to engage her students and her dean is not enthusiastic about her sometimes unorthodox teaching methods. Her personal life is not much better - her relationship with her boyfriend Hank seems to be on cruise control. This was the first Lisa Scottoline book that I read. I bought a lot of her books off of eBay, and after the first 150 or so pages I was concerned... the characters ...

I did contact the merchant and she responded, mostly puzzled that the book did not arrive. And it still hasn't after a month of waiting and scrambling to borrow the book for a book club discussion on it, so I'm also both puzzled and out the $3.95 shipping charge on a 2 cent purchase. I won't use this vendor again.
