FROM THE AMAZON #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR

JAKE LASSITER TACKLES HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

AND BECOMES THE MOST HATED MAN IN MIAMI

"The ending courtroom battle sears with intense and realistic turns...and builds to an unforgettable closing scene. An extraordinary hero stars in a legal tale as believable as it is riveting."Kirkus Reviews

When his godson suffers a catastrophic injury in a high school football game, lawyer Jake Lassiter sues to abolish the sport and becomes Public Enemy Number One. The former NFL linebacker also battles CTE, the fatal brain disease. With his personal life in tatters, he's in couple's therapy with fiancée Dr. Melissa Gold and vows to live long enough to fix his relationship and achieve justice for his godson.

"With its singular characters, clever plotting, and focused storytelling, Levine's punchy, well-written contemporary legal thriller will please John Grisham fans."Library Journal

"Grounded in reality, Early Grave is a novel with heartfelt emotion, flashes of humor, and high-octane excitement."—Franco Harris, NFL Hall of Fame Running Back

THE LAST LASSITER: Early Grave is the final novel of the series that began with the international bestseller To Speak for the Dead in 1990. All the "Lassiters" are stand-alones that may be enjoyed in any order.

Critic reviews

"Levine scores with this witty and complex legal thriller. The author never strains credibility and perfectly balances the legal plotline with his lead's personal health and relationship struggles. This winner works even for those new to the series."Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Our hero's clashes with a phalanx of eloquent, profoundly evil corporate types are worth rereading. Another mark of a fine novel is the treatment of secondary characters. Levine's are articulate and sassy. A treat for fans of the offbeat."Booklist

"Fast paced, smooth and soulful. A winner!"—Jacqueline Winspear, New York Times bestselling author of the Maisie Dobbs series

The story is good as usual. It is entertaining and very interesting. My only problem is that the narrator does not pronounce places correctly like Miamuh instead of Miami, Hialeah, and chinaberry tree. (chin uh berry? Really?).

Poor Pronunciation of places and things
