Lisa Scottoline is a New York Times best-selling author of legal thrillers set in Philadelphia which feature gutsy and resilient female characters. She has thrilled and entertained readers while succeeding in the near impossible...adding humor to the legal system. USA Today hails her writing as "sharp, intelligent, funny and hip" and says that she "gives fans of legal thrillers a good, twisty plot, lively characters, and an all-round fun read." Lisa writes a weekly column called "Chick Wit" which is a funny take on perplexity of life from a woman's perspective.

An award-winning writer, Scottoline is the recipient of a variety of honors, including the Edgar Award (mystery writers' highest honor), an Honorary Doctorate of Law from West Chester University and The Alumni Certificate of Merit from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. She also received the "Paving the Way" Award from Women in Business, and the "Distinguished Author Award" from Scranton University. Scottoline has been honored by Cosmopolitan Magazine for her "fun, fearless fiction," and named an "Innovator" by Publishers Weekly.
