About this listen

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 Miami's trial of the century.

"Move over Scott Turow. To Speak for the Dead is courtroom drama at its very best." - Larry King, USA Today

This is a great yarn with memorable characters and a number of unexpected murders. Jake is a great lawyer but a flawed man who learns the hard way that commitment matters. Really ingenious story and excellent pacing make this a gripping read in and out of the courtroom
