KILL ALL THE LAWYERS (Solomon vs. Lord)
by Paul Levine
in its Audible Audio Edition, Unabridged!
It all starts with a 300-pound marlin stuck in Solomon’s front door. Prank? Threat? High tide? Even by South Florida standards, this registers as weird.
Soon, celebrity shrink “Dr. Bill” shows up. Just out of prison, he blames Solomon for his manslaughter conviction involving the death of a patient. Victoria Lord is used to her law partner and lover cutting corners to win. But Dr. Bill claims Solomon tried to lose!
“Levine skillfully blends humor, a view of Miami, and the legal system into tidy plots.” – South Florida Sun-Sentinel
“Another fast-moving, highly entertaining mystery. Encore, encore!” – ReviewingTheEvidence.com
“A wonderfully entertaining series. The laughs are belly laughs; the suspenseful moments will grab you by the throat. The courtroom scenes are brilliant.” – BookLoons.com
“If somehow, Perry Mason and Stephanie Plum had a love child, he might be named Steve Solomon.” – Huntress Reviews.com
He has won the John D. MacDonald fiction award and has been nominated for an Edgar, a Macavity, the International Thriller Writers Award, and the James Thurber Humor Prize.
What’s new? “Lassiter” and “Last Chance Lassiter” are Paul’s latest entries on Kindle. “To Speak for the Dead” continues its bestseller status more than 20 years after its hardcover publication.

A Miami Dolphins linebacker turned hard-nosed lawyer, Lassiter has been described by Booklist as “one of the most entertaining series characters in contemporary crime fiction” and by The Miami Herald as having “a lot more charisma than Perry Mason ever did.”
Also now available on Kindle: “Illegal,” a thriller set in the world of human trafficking; “Impact,” a legal thriller set at the Supreme Court; “Ballistic,” in which a homegrown terrorist group takes over a missile silo in Wyoming; “Paydirt,” in which a down-and-out bookie attempts to fix the Super Bowl; and “The Road to Hell,” four original short stories.
Paul’s other work includes the “Solomon and Lord” series, featuring mismatched Miami lawyers Steve Solomon and Victoria Lord:

“Fans of Carl Hiaasen and Dave Barry will enjoy this humorous Florida crime romp,” Publishers Weekly wrote of “Solomon vs. Lord.”
Paul wrote 20 episodes of the TV series JAG, which gave him an opportunity to steer a nuclear submarine and land on the deck of an aircraft carrier, all without endangering national security. He is a graduate of Penn State University where he majored in journalism and the University of Miami Law School where he majored in the swimming pool. He passed the Florida Bar exam in his first try in what he suspects was a computer glitch.
He was a trial lawyer with the mammoth international law firm of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, where he did not even pretend to know all his partners’ names. He specialized in “complex litigation,” cases so abstruse that even lawyers charging 500 bucks an hour didn’t fully understand them. He tried hundreds of cases and handled appeals at every level, including the Supreme Court. Along the way, he filed expense accounts nearly as creative as his legal briefs.
Paul says he enjoys writing more than lawyering because he no longer keeps time sheets and gets to work in his underwear. He formerly lived in the hills of Southern California, which he claims are populated by rattlesnakes and coyotes, and those are just the Hollywood agents. Paul recently moved back to Miami, a place Joan Didion once called “a rich and wicked pastel boomtown.” But to Paul, it’s just “home sweet home.”
