Fool Me Twice — Paul Levine

A swindler, liar, and thief, Blinky Baroso is just another lowlife seeking legal aid from NFL linebacker-turned attorney Jake Lassiter. But after Lassiter helps him beat a fraud rap, the weasel disappeared--leaving the ex-Dolphin with a fistful of bogus stock, and holding the bag for the murder of Baroso's business partner. Jake's not happy about having to trail a missing grifter from Miami to the Continental Divide--especially with a wise-ass punk nephew in tow and former lover Jo Jo trying to rekindle their long-extinguished romance. But there's a mystery buried in the Colorado hills--one lawyer Lassiter must get to the bottom of if he wants to keep practicing ... and breathing.
