Persephone Sophia Sassoon is a budding author and former lawyer. After earning her law degree from Boston College Law School, she spent nearly fifteen years as a successful criminal defense attorney in high-level cases before following her true passion for writing. Persephone obtained great results for many clients throughout her years of practice--and also tried nine homicide cases before juries.
Her debut novel, "Le Sinistre de la Droit," is on track to be published within the next few years.
