To Speak for the Dead
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. "To Speak for the Dead" introduced the world to Jake Lassiter, the linebacker-turned-lawyer with a hard bark and a tender heart. An international bestseller, Paul Levine's debut novel was named by the Los Angeles Times as one of the best mysteries of the year.
