Jake Lassiter is a hero unlike any other in the courtroom. Booklist has 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 adventure. 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 is 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 bare-knuckle style makes him a formidable opponent.

      In Levine's engaging eighth legal thriller featuring Florida attorney Jake Lassiter (after Flesh and Bones), Lassiter is distressed to hear from insurance investigator Amy Larkin that he was the last person to see her younger sister, Krista, alive 18 years earlier. Lassiter, a former pro football player, is reluctant to tell Amy the whole truth of his encounter with Krista: she worked as a stripper at a birthday party that a teammate, Rusty MacLean, threw for him. The celebration turned violent after Rusty tried some rough stuff on the teenager and Lassiter rescued her, but left her with her pimp, Charlie. Feeling guilty about not having done more to help Krista, Lassiter volunteers to help her sister's investigation, which rapidly becomes dicey when "Charlie" turns out to be politically connected philanthropist Charles Ziegler. Levine does a standout job of presenting a morally compromised lead, but a melodramatic revelation in the midst of a murder trial leads to a stagy conclusion.
