In Solomon Vs. Lord lawyer Stephen Solomon has never tried a career-changing case, yet he's surrounded by people who want his legal services. Services they can't afford. Even his secretary, who is on parole. And while Stephen may seem hard and jaded, one person in his life keeps him grounded. His nephew Bobby, who is autistic.
To complicate his life even further, Stephen finds himself falling for prosecutor, Victoria Lord. After being fired on her first case, Victoria joins forces with Solomon. Together they work on the biggest case they may ever face that would set the course for the rest of their careers. Or would it?
Solomon Vs. Lord has a great storyline and keeps your attention. Paul Levine mixes and twists his knowledge of the law with the mystery and feeds it to the reader, which keeps them guessing at each turn of the page.
I really enjoyed the story. The characters were very visual as were the settings and seemed to add to the plot. I liked all the characters in the story and their different facets. Stephen, to name one. The way he worked the courtroom with his legal games then the flip side of him--patient and understanding--when he was with Bobby.
It wasn't hard to envision myself in the background watching the story unfold.
