Picture yourself bobbing in the turquoise waters off Key West, the sun warming your skin, sharing a laugh with your law partner who's equal parts brilliant and infuriating. Then bam—a speedboat yacht barrels through, nearly clipping you both before slamming aground. On board? Bundles of cash and a guy pierced by a speargun. That's the wild hook of The Deep Blue Alibi, book 2 in Paul Levine's Solomon vs. Lord legal thrillers.
Steve Solomon and Victoria Lord aren't just dodging boats; they're diving headfirst into a murder investigation that reeks of hidden motives and watery graves. What starts as a beachside mishap spirals into an explosive courtroom showdown. Secrets long buried at sea bubble up, testing their partnership in ways that go beyond legal briefs—think steamy arguments and undeniable chemistry amid the chaos.
Levine crafts dialogue that snaps like a judge's gavel, blending humor with high-stakes drama. Remember that nudist colony scene? Critics rave it's worth the whole book. You'll feel the salty breeze, hear the waves crashing during depositions, and tense up as alibis crumble. It's not your stuffy law procedural; Solomon's unorthodox tricks and Lord's straight-arrow smarts create sparks that light up every chapter.
These characters feel real—flawed, funny, fiercely competitive. Steve's the rogue who bends rules; Victoria keeps him honest (mostly). Together, they tackle speargun forensics, shady yacht owners, and motives tied to sunken treasures. Benefits? Pure escapism that scratches the itch for clever mysteries. Readers get heart-pounding trials without the travel, plus enough wit to share quotes with friends.
Kindle edition means instant access for late-night binges or poolside scrolls. Devour it on vacation imagining you're in Key Largo, or cozy up during rainstorms craving sun-soaked suspense. Fans of John Grisham or Scott Turow will dig the legal savvy, but Levine adds beach noir flair. By the verdict, you'll crave book 3—and wonder what your alibi would be for finishing so fast.
From Amazon #1 bestseller Paul Levine, Edgar-nominated for suspense that surprises. Dive in today.
