Bum Deal
Bum Deal | Paul Levine
2 posts | 2 read
They don't call us sharks for our ability to swim. Second-string linebacker turned disillusioned defense attorney Jake Lassiter finally switches teams. Appointed special prosecutor in a high-profile murder case, he vows to take down a prominent surgeon accused of killing his wife. There's just one problem...or maybe three: no evidence, no witness, and no body. But Lassiter's used to fighting impossible battles on the gridiron and in court. After all, he's not totally burned-out--just a little scorched. Standing in Lassiter's way are the defense lawyers: slick-talking Steve Solomon and blueblood Victoria Lord, who have their own complicated history with the defendant. Not to mention the specter of CTE, the lethal brain disease Lassiter may have contracted banging heads in the NFL. Drained of his mental edge just when he needs it most, Lassiter must do whatever it takes to win this case--even if it costs him his life. Because law is a contact sport, and you don't get trophies for trying.

Lassiter, Solomon, and Lord are lawyers that I would like to have if ever I go to court.
Paul Levine books give me some good chuckles while reading his books.

My go to happy genre is the courtroom thriller. I particularly enjoy Paul Levine for his lighter, humorous tone and sarcastic characters. This latest addition continues the mix of his Lassiter and Solomon & Lord series as Jake gets appointed a special prosecutor and takes on his young protégés whole dealing with his own medical issues. It‘s a fun twisty over the top legal clustef*** of a novel. Luke Daniels is great despite a few editing snafus.

RamsFan1963 I loved the Solomon & Lord series, but I didn't know there were any more after Trial & Error. I'll definitely look for this. Thanks. 6y
Guildedearlobe @RamsFan1963 Yeah, he blended his two series together. Solomon and Lord play big parts in the last three Lassiter novels, Bum Rap, Bum Luck and Bum Deal. 6y
RamsFan1963 Thanks for the info. 6y
