Product Description
Product Description
When Steve Solomon is awakened from a sound sleep beside his lover and law partner, Victoria Lord, the last thing he expects is to find himself in a high-speed chase against dolphin-kidnapping ecoterrorists on Jet Skis. But that is what you get when your nephew hangs out at water parks and speaks cetacean–a.k.a. dolphin. By morning, a person is dead and Steve has a new client: none other than one of the animal liberators. There’s just one loophole: Victoria is on the case too—on the opposite side.
No wonder Larry King says that this is “mystery writing at its very best” and Dave Barry says Paul Levine writes a terrific courtroom drama that’s also funny as hell!”

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Trial and Error is another great book in the Solomon vs. Lord Series. Steve Solomon and Victoria Lord are the stars of these books. The pair are lovers, law partners, and complete opposites. Victoria is the sophisticated, dedicated by the book kind of lawyer. Steve is somewhat crude, lackadaisical, and easygoing. I've read several of the previous books in this series and have thoroughly enjoyed them all.
Going into this book, I was a little concerned that it wouldn't achieve my high expectations that I've come to have for books in this series. So far, the relationship and work life of Steve and Victoria has been filled with amazing chemistry, humorous banter, and incredible explosive action that has grown into something that seems like a real couple. My initial concern had been that that this level of brilliance couldn't continue now that Steve and Victoria had finally gotten together. I should never have worried.
In Trial and Error, Steve and Victoria find themselves in a real spot this time. Steve's nephew Bobby has found a new hobby, he's learning dolphin. His dolphin friends become the target of an apparent dolphin-knapping. In the process, the kidnapper becomes the suspect of a murder. Who becomes his lawyer? Steve Solomon, of course. Who is the prosecution? You guessed it, Victoria Lord. You just know it's going to be an interesting trial.

legal thriller version of Moonlighting
9 Jun 2007
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In Miami, attorney Steve Solomon prevents the abduction of two dolphins from Cetacean Park. Ironically, the radical green hugger he captured asks Solomon to defend him against a murder charge as his kidnapping partner died in the botched "rescue" mission.
The State Attorney General recluses himself because the accused is his nephew; so to the defense lawyer's shock, he names Steve's girlfriend Victoria Lord as the chief prosecutor. As the two do what they always do when it comes to legal matters, they argue in and out of court driving the judge to distraction. However, it is the insight of Steve's autistic adopted son, Bobby, who brings a surprising lucid perception to what happened.
Sort of mindful of a legal thriller version of Moonlighting, the latest Solomon vs. Lord tale TRIAL AND ERROR is a fun lighthearted thriller that fans of the series will enjoy especially when the lead couple objects. The story line is at its best in the courtroom where humor and insight make for a fine lawyer war between the lovers. When the plot turns introspective into Bobby's mind it loses some of the edge and when it morphs into an action thriller near the end it loses its keen edge. Still readers will receive pleasure from this amusing war of the attorneys.

Dolphins' Advocate
16 Jun 2007
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Having foiled an animal activist's attempt to free a pair of trained dolphins, Steve Solomon finds himself morally obligated to defend the naive activist against a felony murder charge. As the activist's uncle, D.A. Ray Pincher is conflicted out and calls on his former employee, Victoria Lord, to prosecute. Can Solomon and Lord overcome their professional and personal conflict to get at the truth?
All the Solomon vs. Lord novels show Levine's talent for layering and then unfurling mystery, yet each adventure is memorably different from the last, satisfying returning fans and winning new ones.
