Jake Lassiter's Latest: "Mortal Sin" for $2.99

[Paul Levine]

New on Kindle: "Mortal Sin."

Jake Lassiter has an ethical dilemma that isn’t on the Bar exam.

The Miami linebacker-turned-lawyer is sleeping with a client's wife and chasing after a mob-connected scheme to bring casino gambling to an Everglades Indian reservation. But that’s only a cover for a more sinister ploy that oozes corruption, blood, and money. One false move, and Jake will be gator bait.

“Just the remedy for those who can’t get enough Spenser and miss Travis McGee terribly.” – St. Petersburg Times

“‘Mortal Sin’ may not be better than a trip to Florida, but it’s the next best thing.” – Detroit Free Press

“Fun...the action is non-stop.” – Chicago Tribune

I read "To Speak for the Dead" and "Night Vision" about 15 years ago, and was very disappointed at the time that I was unable to locate the rest of the books in the series.

I was thrilled when I saw your name and avatar a couple of weeks ago, and immediately went to Amazon and bought all the Jake Lassiter books that were available. Guess it's time to go back and get the next one!

Thanks so much for making these available, and at such great prices - and for donating the proceeds from "To Speak for the Dead" to a wonderful cause!

Thanks, Karen!

Hey, I was disappointed, too, when the New York publishers decided to terminate the series after seven novels. The good news is twofold:

All the old Lassiters are either available now on Kindle or will be shortly. See links below.

"To Speak for the Dead"
"Night Vision"
"False Dawn"
"Reversal"
"Mortal Sin"

Next September, Bantam will bring out a new hardcover titled "Lassiter." Yep, a series that died in 1997 comes back to life 14 years later.

Thanks for your support!

In its kind praise of my Jake Lassiter novel "MORTAL SIN," ($2.99), Kindle Nation Daily busts me!

My one shot as an actor. I lit a stripper's cigarette in the NBC-TV movie adaptation of my novel, "To Speak for the Dead." The Kindle Nation piece accurately reported that I successfully struck the match to tobacco in one try: "One Take Levine."

I also got to work with the fine actors Robert Loggia and Gerald McRaney, pictured in the article flanking me here on the set in New Orleans.

But, back to "Mortal Sin."

The Jake Lassiter thriller hit number 2 last week on Kindle's hardboiled bestseller list. Here's the synopsis:

The Miami linebacker-turned-lawyer is sleeping with a client's wife and chasing after a mob-connected scheme to bring casino gambling to an Everglades Indian reservation. But that’s only a cover for a more sinister ploy that oozes corruption, blood, and money. One false move, and Jake will be gator bait.
