Goodreads asked Paul Levine:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Paul Levine BUM DEAL involves a murder trial where a surgeon is accused of killing his wife, but there's no forensic evidence, no witness, and no body. There was such a case in New York a while ago, and I took that "impossible" trial and gave it to Jake Lassiter as a PROSECUTOR. At the same time, his symptoms of the brain disease CTE are growing worse. I believe in turning the heat up on my protagonist. I think here it's boiling.
