They are the legal world's oddest couple: a shorts-and-sandals beach bum and a Coral Gables blue blood. The only thing keeping them together is that they're on the same side.
It starts with a three-hundred-pound marlin stuck in his front door. Even by South Florida standards, where murderers outnumber mosquitoes, this registers as weird. It's not long before Steve Solomon figures out who's making the bizarre death threats. But how can he explain to his partner why an ex-client wants him dead?
Victoria Lord was used to Steve's cutting legal corners to win, but breaking the law to lose was downright unethical, even for Steve. Now Solomon & Lord is being bashed on local radio and a celebrity shrink with a homicidal me-first philosophy wants to be Steve's new best friend. With a killer on the loose and legal disaster looming, is Steve's lover and law partner about to walk out on him? Is this the end of Solomon & Lord?
As the squabbling between the Miami lawyers escalates, the killer's real target catches them both off guard.

"This one covers everything from a fight to retain custody of and protect an exceptional child, family issues, an attempt to win a crucial court battle, the beginning of a partnership, the importance of friendships, the willingness to make changes - what more could you ask for?" — Robbie (4 out of 5 stars)

“This clever, colorful thriller from former attorney Levine focuses as much on the age-old conflict between Mars and Venus as on delivering legal wisecracks and page-turning suspense…Levine ratchets up the tension with each development but never neglects the heart of the story—his characters.”
“Even though Levine’s latest is a clever thriller, one can't ignore William Dufris’ focus on the real substance of this work—the characters…Solomon bears more resemblance to a beach bum than a lawyer. Victoria Lord, his partner and lover, is as straight as she can be. Dufris excels in portraying the pair as night and day. He also delivers a memorable performance of Steve’s savant-like nephew, Bobby, a character in himself. Dufris makes this story a fast and light listen. His tongue-in-cheek characterizations—especially those of twin bimbos and even the killer—make listening a delight.”
" Mindlessly ( ..and this week comment that as a positive ) entertining and easy read. With a lot of travel and other "must do & obligations" this time of year, this book was just what I needed. Diversion with out obsession to finish. The characters were straight forward and the plot was easy to follow. I'd probably pick up another of this author's books when I need this something that is better than what has been on TV lately but not too heavy on the mind. "
" Some pretty major changes to some of the characters backgrounds, like going from having a brother to being an only child... story slogged along slowly, fairly predictable. Not nearly as fun to read as the first in the series, Solomon vs. Lord. "
" Fun read, end of the series of the "Solomon vs. Lord" by Paul Levine. Not to worry, There is another series by P. Levine, the Jake Lassiter series. I have them all lined up, ready to read. "
" Third in a series of very good lawyer/mystery thrillers with a lot of comedy thrown in. Best way to describe this series is if you like John Grisham and Carl Hiaasen books, then you'll like Paul Levine's books. "
" Would like to give this a 3.5. "
" One of my favorite authors! I truly enjoy the Solomon vs. Lord series and the way Paul brings the characters to life! "
" so far it's been a good read "
" Characters are very likable. Very entertaining and funny. "
" Hadn't read any of this series before. Mostly light comedy but with a thrillery finish. "
" Good quick read. Bobby is growning up. "
" Still uncertain if I will finish this one -- an image of trying to pick up a terrified fish from the bottom of my boat comes to mind. "
" Another fun addition to this series and whose characters are as quirky as Stephanie Plum and her crew or Hiaasen and his Florida pack. "
" Humorous, but with feeling. Good thriller. "
" Very suspenseful. Good Read. A little predictable. "
" This book, in itself was fairly predictable, but Solomon's Laws interspersed throughout were often hilarious. "
" It was a good book but the first in the series was better. "
" This series is what I would call mindless drivel to the extreme, but for some reason, I am really enjoying them. It was a one-night read and was just the entertainment I was craving. "
" Annoying, immature male character won't do what he is told - seems to have no sense at all. After 3 books of this same annoying individual I can't read anymore of these books. Why are men such idiots? "
