“Jake Lassiter is the lawyer we all want on our side—and on the page.” Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Description
Jake Lassiter is a hero unlike any other in the courtroom. Booklist has called him “one of the most entertaining series characters in contemporary crime fiction.”
The former Miami Dolphin is still swimming with sharks in his latest adventure. Amy Larkin is in town, looking for her sister Krista, who vanished without a trace almost two decades earlier. She seeks out Lassiter because he is the last person to have seen her alive.
Lassiter volunteers to investigate, and his search for Krista's fate will take him into the underworld of Miami’s pornography industry, into the dangerous lives of his friends, and, of course, into the courtroom, where Lassiter's bare-knuckle style makes him a formidable opponent.
