Paul Levine launched his very successful crime fiction career more than 30 years ago with the publication of his first legal thriller ‘To Speak for the Dead.’ He was part of a wave o lawyers-turned-novelists that included Scott Turow, John Grisham and Lisa Scottoline. Paul has brought the Jake Lassiter series to a close with the recently published ‘Early Grave.’ His Solomon vs. Lord series, which has been optioned for television, recalls the classic Tracy and Hepburn film ‘Adam’s Rib’ with its mix of romantic comedy and legal wrangling. Paul is a perfect guest for this podcast mixing crime fiction and dramatization because he has also worked in television as a writer for ‘JAG’ and was co-creator of the Supreme Court series ‘First Monday.’
