"Solomon vs. Lord" features the mismatched legal team, Steve Solomon and Victoria Lord. He's the irreverent, rule-breaking trial lawyer, and she's his uptight, by-the-book counterpart. Here's the setup:Victoria Lord follows all the rules...Steve Solomon makes up his own...When they defend an accused murderer, they'll either end up in ruin, in jail...or in bed."Remarkably fresh and original with characters you can't help loving and sparkling dialogue that echoes the Hepburn-Tracy screwball comedies. A hilarious, touching and entertaining twist on the legal thriller." — Chicago Sun-TimesThe second book, "To Speak for the Dead," introduced the world to Jake Lassiter, the linebacker-turned-lawyer with a hard bark and a tender heart. The book was an international bestseller and was named by the Los Angeles Times as one of the best mysteries of the year. The setup:A doctor in love with his patient's wife...A fatal mistake during surgery...Accident? Malpractice? Or murder?Defending a surgeon in a malpractice case, Jake Lassiter begins to suspect that his client is innocent of negligence...but guilty of murder. Add a sexy widow, a deadly drug, and a grave robbery to the stew, and you have the recipe for Miami's trial of the century."Genuinely chilling." — Washington PostFinally comes "Illegal," the stand-alone thriller set in California and Mexico, "Illegal" tells a story of human trafficking and sex slavery, a mother's love for her son, and the redemption of a man intent on escaping his past. The setup:A down-and-out L.A. lawyer with nothing to lose...A beautiful Mexican woman who disappears crossing the border...And the powerful and corrupt rancher who would destroy them both.Haunted by a personal tragedy and wanted by the cops, lawyer Jimmy (Royal) Payne wants to skip town. That's when he crosses paths with 12-year-old Tino Perez, newly arrived from Mexico, looking for his mother Marisol, who went missing after a hellish midnight border crossing with a corrupt and dangerous "coyote."Before long, the cynical lawyer and the savvy kid are bonding and tracing Marisol's path, battling predators on both sides of the border. Most dangerous of all is Simeon Rutledge, a wealthy rancher, and the biggest employer of farm workers in California. Just why is Rutledge willing to kill Payne to keep Marisol under wraps?"'Illegal' has such a strong page-turning narrative that Levine's detailed reporting on immigration never gets in the way of the suspense and the black comedy." — Connecticut PostPRAISE FOR THE FICTION OF PAUL LEVINE"Mystery writing at its very, very best." - Larry King, USA TODAY"Irreverent...genuinely clever...great fun." - The New York Times Book Review"Just the remedy for those who can't get enough Spenser and miss Travis McGee terribly." - St. Petersburg Times"Take one part John Grisham, two parts Carl Hiaasen, throw in a dash of John D.
