TO SPEAK FOR THE DEAD
“Move over Scott Turow! Mystery writing at its very, very best.”
—USA TODAY
The first of the award-winning Lassiter series, “To Speak for the Dead,” set new standards for the modern legal thriller.
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 the recipe for Miami’s trial of the century.
“To Speak for the Dead” introduced the world to Jake Lassiter, the linebacker-turned-lawyer with a hard bark and a tender heart. An international bestseller, my debut novel was named by the Los Angeles Times as one of the best mysteries of the year.
All author proceeds go to the Four Diamonds Fund, which supports cancer treatment and research at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital.

“Delicious.”
