About this listen

Last seen in 1997's Flesh & Bones, Jake Lassiter is a hero unlike any other in the courtroom. Booklist called him "one of the most entertaining series characters in contemporary crime fiction." The former Miami Dolphin is still swimming with sharks in his latest, boldest novel of suspense yet.

Amy Larkin is in town, looking for her sister Krista, who vanished without a trace almost two decades earlier. She seeks out Lassiter because he's the last person to have seen her alive. Lassiter volunteers to investigate, and his search for Krista's fate will take him into the underworld of Miami's pornography industry, into the dangerous lives of his friends, and, of course, into the courtroom, where Lassiter's bareknuckle style makes him a formidable opponent.

Great Story

This was an Audible recommendation and I'm very pleasantly surprised. Gritty courthouse politics and posh lives concealing corruption and sleaze, brilliant plot twists that keep you guessing, and a narrator who knows how to tell the story. Five stars!

mixed feelings.

This is a well written story line with real twists and turns. The reader will be involved until the last word is read.
The plot and the characters are first class, but the subject matter was depressing for me.
The reality may be believable, I just hope it is pure fiction.

Not My Favorite Lassiter Book

Paul Levine definitely improved his writing as this series progressed. I really disliked all the sexual language and descriptions. They were just too explicit. It was just not necessary.

Not as entertaining.

The choice of reader was a poor one. After listening to a number of Lassiter stories, I had a vision of what Lassiter looked like. This reader did not make a reasonable vision. He also changed characters but not accent or tone and it was difficult to keep characters straight. In a series like Lassiter, the reader should be consistent. Hope the next one is better.

Getting Hooked

I am really getting hooked on Paul Levine's books. Peter Berkrot did a great job also. I like the down to earth not perfect lawyers with their own family
issues. I just love Grammy and Kip is a interesting boy to say the least.

All to books in the Lassiter series are great fun. Great for car trips or easy listening.

Lassiter became Joe Pesci…

Having listened to the previous 5 of 7, as 2 books didn’t offer an Audible version, I enjoyed the reader, and thought he nailed the characters. Why in the world would you switch narrators mid-series?? And the difference in their dialects couldn't be any further distracting. Also, I know they sell Escalades “EscaLAIDS” in Jersey, so why in the he** doesn’t the narrator know the correct pronunciation?? He must say EscaLOD 50 times, and I cringed each time. And, going through papers, a glovebox, etc, is referred to as RIFLING, pro just like the weapon, as opposed to riffling, like sniffling… It makes the book not worth listening to, and because I listen when I’m driving, doing yard work, getting ready in the morning, etc, actually reading the book is not my preferred medium. And I’m not sure I can hear Jake explain his case of mistaken identity, his blunder resulting in a safety for the other team, et al, any more. I’d think it’s a fair assumption that anyone reading #8 in a series would’ve previously read 1-7, or at least a few earlier books, so exhaustively repeating the same stories is unnecessary and annoying to a series reader. I’ll sto here…

The Narrator was good. The ending had a good twist. I liked the double twist ending.
