Their target has no phone, certainly no email, and never answers his mail. But August Jorgenson is no country bumpkin.

At the moment, however, he's a 22 year old rookie cop, unaware his life is about to change. In a burning barn a body is found--and the fire isn't the cause of death. The detectives working the case have a pretty good idea about what went down. But Officer Oliver thinks it's something else entirely, and pursues a truth others would prefer remain hidden - others who will go to extreme lengths to keep him quiet.

Lassiter is Stuck
Lassiter’s character has not developed from one book to another. Pretty much the same guy. It is not fair to expect that any author will come close to developing any character that is a legitimate rival to the great John D. MacDonald’s Travis Magee though there are some similarities. So Magee lived on a boat, let’s move Lassiter from his coral house to a small island at the beginning of the keys. Let’s move Lassiter away from the mundane life of a defense attorney to a special practice lawyer at the beck and call of a quirky billionaire. Then give Lassiter a hand picked “ crew to help him out with Charley Riggs as a second in command. But please, move him off the dime.
I’m not suggesting he is the next Magee but I think Levine has the talent to move Lassiter to be an updated, more relevant character. No one can be 35 forever but it seems that Lassiter is trying.
Oh yes, Luke Daniels is wonderful, perhaps the best in the business.

Much of the same
I listened to book one & This was more of the same.
Little court room excitement and more impossible scenarios for Jake to get himself into and out of
Also - Like his first book - More implausible situations that no one would end up in.
My last book of this series - Confused by the good reviews.. If Luke Daniels or somebody his equal did not narrate this book - It would have been a quick end and much harsher review

Great story
If it's so great then why only 3 stars? I will tell you why: too much sex. I do not like it when authors use excessive sex as filler. It's not needed and distracts from the real story. Other than like 5 sex scenes the story is well done and a decent legal thriller.

Great as audiobook!
Well written book with many twists and turns, humor and sass, plus interesting smart characters who informed on well researched topics which make it hard to not listen all the time. This was probably the best narrator I’ve listened to. It was superbly performed by Luke Daniels, who could do male and female voices pleasantly, as well as many accents and manners of speaking. I will definitely look for more books by this author and narrator.

Good Story, Great Performance
This is the second Paul Levine book I've read or listened to and I really like his work. I will look forward to other books by this author. What really made this audiobook amazing for me, though, was the narration by Luke Daniels. His ability to craft unique sounding characters that don't overlap AT ALL was simply extraordinary. I've come across other narrators that were really good but Luke Daniel's is a step above the rest. Kudos Mr. Daniels.
