WHAT'S THE VERDICT ON 'TO SPEAK FOR THE DEAD?'
If you enjoy John Grisham, Scott Turow, Robert Dugoni, Harlan Coben, Carl Hiaasen, Lee Child, or James Patterson, you'll love "To Speak for the Dead" from Paul Levine, winner of the John D. MacDonald Fiction Award. Levine has also been nominated for the Edgar, Macavity, International Thriller, Shamus and James Thurber prizes.
THE READERS HAVE THEIR SAY: "WHAT A SHOCKING ENDING!"
"A page-turner with plenty of twists and turns to keep you flipping pages. Multiple murders, intense courtroom drama, a little romance, well drawn characters, and plenty of humor thrown in the mix. Jake Lassiter takes me back a few years to an old favorite; John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee." - Amazon 5-star review

"A similar flavor to James Garner of The Rockford Files TV series, one of my favorites." - Amazon 5-star review

"An ending that will surprise and leaves us wanting more of Jake Lassiter. Mr Levine, I am your new fan." - Amazon 5-star review
