Last Chance Lassiter

Jake Lassiter, the linebacker-turned-Miami-attorney, is back for a short, sharp case that deploys the series' characteristic combination of legal maneuvering, Florida atmosphere, and Lassiter's particular brand of stubborn moral instinct. Paul Levine's entry in the Solomon vs. Lord world gives Lassiter a problem with no clean solution and the kind of antagonist who knows exactly how the system works. The novella format allows Levine to run a tight, focused legal thriller without the sprawl that longer entries sometimes accumulate.

Luke Daniels has narrated Jake Lassiter across the series, and his command of the character's Miami voice is as reliable as ever. Daniels makes Lassiter's wry narrative energy feel natural rather than performed, giving even the shorter format the full texture of the character. At just over two and a half hours, this is an ideal listen for fans looking for more Lassiter between the longer novels.
