Sly Fox: A Dani Fox Novel
Sly Fox
“Jeanine Pirro, who’s seen it all and heard it all, knows how to tell it all. Judge Pirro’s debut novel is a fast-paced blending of fact, fiction, and autobiography. If you’ve enjoyed her humor and straight talk on TV, you’ll love and recognize her alter ego, prosecutor Dani Fox, in
Sly Fox
.”
—Nelson DeMille,
New York Times
bestselling author of
The Lion, The General’s Daughter
, and
Word of Honor
“
Sly Fox
is a terrific debut crime novel, bristling with the authenticity that only a true pro could bring to the courtroom. Jeanine Pirro is the real deal, and she adds a strong voice to my favorite genre—filled with experience, compassion, style, and humor—all of which were Pirro’s trademarks in her pioneering prosecutorial role.”
—Linda Fairstein, internationally bestselling author of the Alex Cooper crime novels, including
Night Watch
and
Silent Mercy
“Dani Fox hits the ground running! She’s a heroine. And Judge Jeanine Pirro knows about heroines. Kudos to the judge and Prosecutor Fox!
Sly Fox
is riveting!”
—Lis Wiehl, former federal prosecutor, Fox News legal analyst, and bestselling author of the
Triple Threat
novels
Dedicated to my mother, Esther Ferris—
my backbone and the woman who taught me
to never remain silent in the face of injustice
As an assistant district attorney, the first-ever woman elected county judge, and, later, District Attorney in Westchester County, New York, I have always fought for the underdog in a legal system that often favors the accused.
This book is fiction, and the events, incidents, and characters are imaginary or are used in a fictitious way. Nevertheless, much of this book was inspired by actual events and criminal cases that I personally prosecuted.
I’m using this fictional venue to give readers an intimate glimpse into what really happens inside and outside of courtrooms and to describe a time not long ago when women, children, and the elderly were treated as lesser citizens.
Helping victims has always been my calling. I don’t want justice to be blind. I want her to see the victims, to feel their loss and their pain, and to make sure that those who are responsible for causing those losses and suffering are rightfully punished.
The great judge Learned Hand once wrote, “The spirit of liberty remembers that not even a sparrow falls to earth unheeded.”
I see myself as a “sparrow catcher”—no matter how small or insignificant, the fallen sparrows in our society deserve to have their day in court and a champion determined to fight for their rights.
—Judge Jeanine Pirro
