Twenty years ago this summer, Paul Levine's debut novel, TO SPEAK FOR THE DEAD, was published in hardcover and introduced readers to linebacker-turned-lawyer Jake Lassiter. TO SPEAK FOR THE DEAD is now available as an e-book. The best news: Priced for a limited time at $2.99, Levine is donating 100% of the royalties for TO SPEAK FOR THE DEAD to the Four Diamonds Fund, which supports cancer treatment and research at Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital.
More details can be found on Paul Levine's official website: http://www.paul-levine.com/content/jake-lassiter.asp.
NIGHT VISION, the second Jake Lassiter novel, is also now available as an e-book, as is 9 SCORPIONS, a stand-alone thriller. The e-books can be read on an e-reader, or downloaded to a laptop or desktop. In time, Levine's remaining Jake Lassiter novels will be available in e-book formats as well.
Additionally, a new novel featuring Jake, entitled LASSITER, will be published in hardcover by Bantam Books in 2011.
