Given to me by Pegh - Scottoline books are great poolside reads!
From Library Journal
Against her better judgment, Rita Morrone, a smart-mouthed, poker-playing young lawyer, agrees to represent her lover's father, a respected judge, against a sexual harassment charge brought by his secretary. As she prepares to go to trial, little does she know that her lover, Paul, is also involved in the case and that the lady in question will end up murdered; furthermore, she doesn't suspect that her own life and that of her father will lie in the balance. Yet as she investigates, it becomes increasingly clear that the good judge is being framed. Despite her fury at Paul for his infidelity and her concern for her father, she does her homework and with a little help from her octogenarian poker cronies deftly nails the murderer.

This was a fun book...I really enjoy this author. Quick and easy read, not a brain bender but totally entertaining.
