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.

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.
