Praise of Paul Levine's "Illegal"
"Levine is one of the few thriller authors who can craft a plot filled with suspense while still making the reader smile at the characters' antics."--"Chicago Sun-Times"
"A compulsively readable yet character-driven thriller . . . a riveting read filled with action, pathos, and even humor."--"Booklist"
"Timely, tumultuous, and, in a word, terrific."--"The Providence Journal"
"Thought-provoking, action-packed."--"Sun-Sentinel"
Advanced Praise for "Lassiter"
"Lassiter is back after fourteen long years - and better than ever. Moving fast, cracking wise, butting heads,
he's the lawyer we all want on our side - and on the page."
--Lee Child
"Paul Levine is one of South Florida's great writers, and Lassiter is his greatest creation. It's funny, smart and compelling.
It's also so rich in authentic Miami detail that you can smell the cigar smoke."
--Dave Barry
"No cross-bred comparisons with other protagonists suffice to describe this larger than life character with his raw intelligence, street smarts, and a self-deprecating wit that makes you just love the guy. Lassiter combines edgy storytelling, tight plotting and Levine's trademark crackling dry humor--I really couldn't put the book down; it's a terrific, fast-paced read from beginning to end."

Descriere
Eighteen years ago, Jake Lassiter crossed paths with a teenage runaway who disappeared into South Florida's sex trade. Now he retraces her steps and runs head-on into a conspiracy of Miami's rich and powerful who would do anything to keep the past as dark as night and silent as the grave. In this tale of redemption and revenge, Edgar-nominated author Paul Levine delivers his most powerful thriller yet.
Jake Lassiter, second-string linebacker turned low-rent lawyer, is cynical about the law, but if you hire him, he'll take a punch for you . . . and maybe a swing at the prosecutor, too.
Amy Larkin--beautiful, angry, and mysterious--accuses Lassiter of involvement in the disappearance of her sister eighteen years earlier. What does Lassiter know about Krista Larkin, the runaway teen turned porn actress? More than he's saying.
Seeking to atone for his own past, Lassiter follows the cold trail of the missing Krista and butts head with the powerful men who also knew her: a former porn king turned philanthropist, a slick Cuban-born prosecutor who'd love to be governor, and an aging mobster who once worked for the infamous Meyer Lansky.
The evidence leads to a long-ago night of kinky sex, designer drugs--and possible murder. But before Lassiter can nail the truth, a gun goes off, a suspect falls dead, and Amy is charged with murder.
The state has an eyewitness and a slam-dunk case. Lassiter has a client he doesn't trust and a case he can't win. Did Amy shoot the man who killed her sister? Or the wrong man? And what really happened to Krista? The answers, buried under years of deceit and corruption, are revealed in an explosive courtroom finale proving that rough justice is better than no justice at all.
