(PRLeap.com) "Lawyer for the City", a new book by James A. DeVita, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

"Lawyer for the City" introduces readers to Rocco DeMarco, a rising young attorney in the D.C. Attorney General's Office known for taking on complex, multi-million-dollar personal injury cases. When DeMarco is assigned a high-profile police brutality lawsuit, one plaintiff dead, the other paralyzed, he quickly discovers that the officers involved refuse to cooperate.

Determined to uncover the truth, DeMarco embarks on a relentless investigation that takes him across the District, from the city morgue and D.C. General Hospital to the Lorton Reformatory. What he ultimately finds is more explosive than he imagined: a possible link between the shooting and the Mayor of the District of Columbia.

"Lawyer for the City" offers a gripping, behind-the-scenes look at the strategy, stakes, and pressure involved in preparing and trying a major police brutality case, delivering both legal authenticity and page-turning suspense.
