Product Description
"Mystery writing at its very, very best. Jake Lassiter is my favorite new character in fiction." – Larry King, USA Today
Ahead of its time, NIGHT VISION, the highly praised sequel to TO SPEAK FOR THE DEAD, anticipated the danger of homicidal stalkers on the Internet.
Linebacker-turned-lawyer Jake Lassiter is appointed a special prosecutor when women in a sex-charged Internet chat room are targeted by a serial killer. Enlisting a brilliant female psychiatrist and assisted by retired coroner Doc Charlie Riggs, Lassiter wades into a maze of lies and corruption to uncover the murderer. Soon, Lassiter finds himself on the trail of a psychopath from the mean streets of Miami to an insane asylum in London and the very streets where Jack the Ripper once stalked his prey.
Now available as an e-book for the introductory price of $2.99 for a limited time.

 "The sexual revolution has been repealed by a vote of the electorate." June 21, 2010

That's one of my favorite lines in the book. Lassiter mixes football and bedroom metaphors as he considers his past as a former lady's man. "Jake Lassiter, number 58, placed on waivers, emotionally unable to perform. Refuses to hit and run. Welcome to the grown-up world, Lassiter. I'm proud of you." Paul Levine's writing style reminds me a lot of John D. MacDonald, whose Travis McGee novels taught me a lot about Florida, even before I moved here. There's a little bit of Carl Hiaasen here, too, but the humor isn't so outlandish. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, but one caveat: If you object to rough language or sexual situations, this may not be for you. It's interesting to read this book along with Levine's 9 SCORPIONS, a legal thriller at the Supreme Court. Jake Lassiter is tough street lawyer. Samuel Truitt is a brilliant Supreme Court justice. Both guys find there's not a lot of justice in the Justice System. The books are different, but each has a very strong protagonist and I recommend each one!
Jake Lassiter versus Sexual Predators on the Internet June 21, 2010

This is the sequel to "To Speak for the Dead," and if anything, it's even more chilling! Someone is attacking women who log onto an Internet sex-chat room. Deep, rich characters with a cast of South Florida whacko possible villains. Jake Lassiter is on the case, this time as a specially appointed investigator. If you didn't read the first book, you can start here, the two stories are separate and distinct. Lassiter is a sexy hunk of a lawyer (I've never met one, personally!) He's an ex-football player who went to night law school, and what he lacks in brilliance, he makes up for in toughness and his own brand of honesty. He hooks up with a hot English lady shrink, goes to London, and...wait...no spoilers! It's a dynamite read with an ending that will knock your socks off. Did I mention it's funny, too? Sounds strange, I know, in a book about a serial killer, but Levine has a method of bringing humor to nearly every situation. Can't wait for the next one. (On Levine's website, it says "9 Scorpions" will be on Kindle in a few days. It's a thriller set at the Supreme Court and is next on my TBR list).
Jake Lassiter is my favorite lawyer July 12, 2010
Legal Thriller Aficionado
I'd read that Author Levine won the John D. MacDonald award. Those Travis McGee books were my favorites, so I dug into Levine's Lassiter series and his Supreme Court thriller, "9 Scorpions." What's cool about "Night Vision" is that it was written before there was much in the news about Internet stalkers. The book puts Lassiter on the opposite side of his usual position. He's appointed a special prosecutor to go after a serial killer preying on women in a highly sexual Internet chat room. One of Levine's most intriguing characters is in this one, a British woman psychiatrist who studies serial killers. Lassiter travels from Miami to London, where there's a scene in a hospital for the criminally insane that's a classic. Funny and chilling at the same time. In fact, that's one of Levine's strong points. All his books have humor, even when the topic is grim. As with "9 Scorpions," I recommend this one highly!
Great read! September 4, 2010
Stephanie Buscemi (Austin)
Compelling, smart and oh, so funny! A "can't put it down" thriller. Hoping, as i begin book 3 in the series, all will be available on Kindle very soon!
Very Amusing October 15, 1998

I love Paul Levine's books, especially this one and his first novel. Witty, opinionated in a funny yet relevant way, and has a good plot too! Try this book!
