She's old-money Miami. He's barefoot Coconut Grove. The only thing they had in common was the law, until they faced each other in the steamiest murder trial of the century, a case that would make sparks fly, headlines scream, and opposites attract. Surrounded by crooks, con men, and a cast of colorful characters, Steve Solomon and Vickie Lord must solve the crime before they end up in ruin, in jail, or, worse, in bed.

" "Former attorney and reporter Levine delivers a funny, fast-paced legal thriller." (Publishers Weekly)
"Levine makes the most of his characters, as well as the South Florida setting both in and out of the courthouse." (Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel)
The plotting in this legal offering is sometimes farfetched but almost always amusing. This is problematic for narrator Christopher Lane because he has a clear, formal voice. The humor of the dialogue is sometimes lost in the narration. After getting Victoria Lord, a promising assistant prosecutor, fired, criminal lawyer Steve Solomon teams up with her on two cases, a murder and a custody battle. What begins as an adversarial relationship, ultimately turns into a love affair. There's always a lot going on between Solomon and Lord. Lane's voice is clear and precise, so you don't miss the words, but you often wonder whether a line is serious or banter. 2007 Audies Award Finalist (c) AudioFile 2006
