“I was sitting at the end of the bar sipping single-malt Scotch when I spotted the tall blond woman with the large green eyes and the small gray gun.”
The next thing Jake Lassiter knows, the woman pumps three bullets into the man on the next barstool. Lassiter, the linebacker-turned-lawyer, has a new client. She’s a stunning South Beach model; the dead man is her wealthy father; and the murder case is a slam dunk for the prosecution. Or is it?
“Lassiter is smart, tough, funny, and very human…one of the most entertaining series characters in contemporary crime fiction.” – Booklist

Jake Lassiter does it once again. One of the advantages of being both an avid reader and being quite computer literate is that I became aware a year ago of some websites on which they promoted books by listing some which were being given away free, but only for a day or two. So, by paying close attention and using the Kindle reading software (also free) from Amazon, I built a library of considerable size and discovered that I had new favorite authors.Â
