NO. 1 BESTSELLING KINDLE HARDBOILED MYSTERY "Mystery writing at its very, very best. Jake Lassiter is my favorite new character in fiction." – Larry King, USA Today Ahead of its time, NIGHT VISION, the highly praised sequel to TO SPEAK FOR THE DEAD, anticipated the danger of homicidal stalkers on the Internet. Linebacker-turned-lawyer Jake Lassiter is appointed a special prosecutor when women in a sex-charged Internet chat room are targeted by a serial killer. Enlisting a brilliant female psychiatrist and assisted by retired coroner Doc Charlie Riggs, Lassiter wades into a maze of lies and corruption to uncover the murderer. Soon, Lassiter finds himself on the trail of a psychopath from the mean streets of Miami to an insane asylum in London and the very streets where Jack the Ripper once stalked his prey.

(Miami Dolphins linebacker-turned-lawyer Jake Lassiter ret...)
Miami Dolphins linebacker-turned-lawyer Jake Lassiter returns in the seventh Lassiter mystery from acclaimed South Florida writer and former lawyer Paul Levine. In Flesh & Bones, Jake takes on a seemingly unwinnable case. When Miami model Chrissy Bernhardt strides through a South Beach night spot and plugs three deadly shots into a bar patron, later identified as her tycoon father Harry Bernhardt, the lawyer watches the killing from the next stool. Yet when the apparent murderess asks him to represent her, Jake readily agrees, swayed as always by a pretty face and by nagging glimmers of reasonable doubt. Mounting Chrissy's legal defense, Jake sets out to unearth the family secrets that molded her past: his cover girl client is either a cold-blooded killer or a sexual abuse victim. Through hypnosis, Chrissy's psychiatrist and trusted friend Dr. Lawrence Schein has helped her remember long-suppressed incidents of childhood incest. As Jake struggles to learn if the memories are real or fabricated, he stumbles upon a scheme to manipulate South Florida's fresh water supply, masterminded by Chrissy's half-brother Guy. Delving deeper, he uncovers a suspicious link between the doctor and the developer.Once again, the personal and professional become intertwined when Jake falls hard for his beautiful client. Aided once more in Flesh & Bones, by his unorthodox but faithful braintrust -- moonshine-guzzling Granny Lassiter, cranky retired coroner Doc Riggs and precocious nephew Kip--Jake must keep Chrissy off Death Row if she's to stay in his life.

( Das unterhaltsame belletristische Erstlingswerk von Rec...)
Das unterhaltsame belletristische Erstlingswerk von Rechtsanwalt Levine stellt Jake Lassiter vor, vormals Sportskanone und jetzt Strafverteidiger in Miami. Jake verteidigt Dr. Roger Salisbury in einem Strafverfahren wegen eines ärztlichen Kunstfehlers. Der Prozess wurde von der attraktiven jungen Melanie Corrigan angestrengt, der Witwe des wohlhabenden Immobilienmaklers Philip Corrigan. Die Tochter des Toten, die Sportjournalistin Susan Corrigan, ist über Rogers Freispruch nicht erbaut und erzählt Jake, dass Melanie und Roger gemeinsam die Ermordung ihres Vaters geplant hätten und dass der Prozess ein Ablenkungsmanöver sei, um ihr Verhältnis zu vertuschen. Als Jake Susans Verdacht nachgeht, erhebt die Witwe, halbnackt, eine weitere Beschuldigung, die Roger belastet, sie selbst aber reinwäscht. Da Jake sichtbare Beweise braucht, gräbt er gemeinsam mit Susan und seinem Freund Charlie Riggs, einem pensionierten Gerichtsmediziner, Philips Leiche aus – im Dunkel der Nacht, umgeben von Betongruften. Und sie schleichen sich dann nicht mit einer, sondern mit zwei Leichen davon. Der Grabraub bringt dem Staatsanwalt neue Hinweise. Er verhaftet Roger wegen Mordes und Jake findet sich nun im Mittelpunkt eines verzwickten Krimis. Levine erzählt eine spannende Geschichte und es gelingt ihm, mit medizinischen Indizien und juristischen Argumenten die Spannung nicht abnehmen zu lassen, sondern ständig zu erhöhen. Zwei weitere Jake Lassiter-Romane stehen in Aussicht; man darf sich darauf freuen.
