Solomon vs. Lord eBook Giveaway

It's giveaway time, and the prize on this occasion is fiction by Paul Levine, who has won the John D. MacDonald fiction award and been nominated for an Edgar, a Macavity, the International Thriller Writers Award and the James Thurber Humor Prize. He's the author of the critically-acclaimed Jake Lassiter series and the Solomon vs. Lord series. The latter features lawyers Steve Solomon and Victoria Lord, combative Florida lawyers in a love-hate relationship who can't even agree on "good morning." Victoria is a Coral Gables blueblood who plays by the book, while Steve is a Coconut Grove beach bum who ignores the rules in favor of Solomon's Laws. But they make a good trial team, although there's always the chance they'll kill each other while the jury is still out.

Levine recently released all four books in the series — Solomon vs. Lord, The Deep Blue Alibi, Kill All the Lawyers and Habeas Porpoise (formerly titled Trial & Error) — in Kindle editions and is celebrating by giving away an eBook of the first novel, Solomon vs. Lord, and a short story titled "Sink or Swim." Solomon vs. Lord introduced the two attorneys who bicker and banter as they defend a beautiful young woman accused of killing her wealthy, older husband. With crooks, con men, and a cast of colorful characters swirling around Solomon and an anxious fiancé waiting for Lord, the two attorneys begin to believe their luscious client has been lying through her perfect teeth. Now Solomon and Lord must solve the case before they end up in ruin, in jail…or in bed.

Levine is a former trial attorney who served as a legal commentator for WPLG-TV and WTVJ-TV in Miami, wrote and appeared on You & the Law, a television segment syndicated by Newsweek Broadcasting, and also taught communications law as an adjunct lecturer at the University of Miami School of Law. His writing has been called "Carl Hiaasen meets John Grisham in the court of last retort." The author says he brings "humor to the legal system because I see so much that's absolutely nutty there....I practiced law in front of curmudgeonly judges, and I knew lawyers who could shake your hand and pick your pocket at the same time. There were also judges who were absolutely hilarious, some without meaning to be."

For your chance to win either Solomon vs. Lord in  mobi (Kindle) or PDF versions or the Solomon vs. Lord short story "Sink or Swim" in mobi format, just send along your name and e-mail address to [email protected]. I'll take entries until Friday at midnight ET, and post the two winners (drawn at random) over the weekend.
