“Scottoline writes riveting thrillers that keep me up all night, with plots that twist and turn.” –Harlan Coben

One boy. One lawyer. One chance for justice.

Ten-year-old Patrick O'Brien is a natural target at school. Shy, dyslexic, and small for his age, he tries to hide his first-grade reading level from everyone: from his classmates, from the grandfather who cares for him, and from the teachers who are supposed to help him. But the real trouble begins when Patrick is accused of attacking a school aide. The aide promptly quits and sues the boy, his family, and the school district. Patrick's grandfather turns to the law firm of Rosato & DiNunzio for help and Mary DiNunzio is on the case. Soon Mary becomes Patrick's true champion and his only hope for security and justice. But there is more to the story than meets the eye and Patrick might be more troubled than he seems. With twists at every turn and secrets about the family coming to light, Mary DiNunzio might have found the case that can make her a true protector, or break her heart...

With Lisa Scottoline’s trademark emotional depth and fast-paced action, Damaged will have listeners riveted to the last track as they root for the beloved characters and their fight for justice.

Mary and Macchiavelli

A great book centered around Mary, one of Bennie Rosato's partners who, like her colleagues has a big heart, strong will and a penchant for finding trouble. Great insight into America's failing schools, the foster system and dyslexia.
The narrator needs to brush up on Italian a bit but overall a great listen with a great plot and ending.

Delightful

An entertaining slice of life spiced with cultural and ethnic diversity. A nostalgic look at assimilation in the 21st century

great story, compassionate yet strong

Just when you think nothing else can go wrong . .

I thoroughly enjoyed this story with all its twists and turns. Just when you think nothing else can happen, good or bad, the unexpected hits you. It was a great listen.

It's been way too long ! Thanks Lisa Scottoline!

I missed Rosati & DiNunzio! Great story, charecters, & reader! This fulfilled the court room/attorney drama I've been craving this Summer.
