The Road to Hell is Paul Levine’s short story collection, published in 2011. Levine is best known for his Jake Lassiter and Solomon vs. Lord novel series, and this collection gives readers a taste of his shorter crime fiction. His writing draws on years of experience as a trial lawyer in Miami, and his stories typically feature sharp legal detail and dark humor.
Levine has won the John D. MacDonald Fiction Award and received nominations for the Edgar, Macavity, and Shamus prizes. Beyond novels and short stories, he wrote twenty episodes of the CBS military drama JAG and co-created the Supreme Court drama First Monday. This collection is a good entry point for readers curious about Levine’s work before diving into his longer series.
