To Speak for the Dead

FIRST OF THE AWARD-WINNING JAKE LASSITER SERIES

A doctor in love with his patient's wife...

A fatal mistake during surgery...

Accident? Malpractice? Or murder?

Defending a surgeon in a malpractice case, Jake Lassiter begins to suspect that his client is innocent of negligence...but guilty of murder. Add a sexy widow, a deadly drug, and a grave robbery to the stew, and you have Miami's trial of the century.

"Cracking good action mystery...funny, sardonic and fast-paced." - Detroit Free Press

"A fast, wry and thoroughly engrossing thriller. Master storytelling." - Carl Hiaasen

"Courtroom drama at its very best." - USA Today
