Interview with Author of “DISCRETION,” Allison Leotta
Recently, I read “DISCRETION,” by Allison Leotta and had the opportunity to interview this renowned author. Allison is a graduate of Michigan State University and Harvard Law School. Before beginning her career as a novelist, Allison practiced law for twelve years as an Assistant U.S. Attorney prosecuting sex crimes and domestic violence in Washington, D.C. It is this experience that inspired Allison to become an author and write first rate thrillers like “DISCRETION.”
“DISCRETION” begins with a beautiful young woman plummeting to her death from a balcony in the U.S. Capitol building. Then, Assistant U.S. Attorney Anna Curtis arrives at the scene to investigate the case. The victim is one of Washington, D.C.’s highest paid escorts, and the evidence points to sexual assault and murder. The novel follows Anna’s investigation, and with each break in the case the mystery deepens. As Anna delves deeper into the secret world of prostitution, politics, and power, the target on her own back begins to grow larger.
With that introduction, below is my conversation with Allison Leotta, the author of “DISCRETION.”
