Gripando has created a page turner that will grip you from the opening line to the final chapter in this legal thriller. Jack Swyteck, criminal defense attorney, is sucked into his most dangerous, convoluted case yet. A Greek is thrown off a roof in Cyprus, his wife is raped - and thirty years later it leads to the Vice President of the United States dying while hunting alligators in the Florida Everglades. Overnight Jack's dad, retired Florida Governor Harry Swyteck, is thrust into the limelight as the leading candidate for the VP vacancy. Jack is tapped to be his dad's lead attorney to shepherd him through the confirmation process - only to be fired six hours later. And people keep on dying. Gripando does a wonderful job of keeping the reader guessing about what's really going on - even as the reader is introduced to a series of legitimate red herrings that could provide reasonable explanations - but don't. And along the way Jack's investigator, Theo Knight, the convicted murderer who had been on death row that Jack proved was innocent, does his best to cover Jack's back. And FBI agent, Andie Henning, Jack's girlfriend, is constantly faced with challenges about Jack and his involvement in all of this. And all Jack wants to do is go back to his office and handle a simple little criminal case. But if he can't solve this riddle, he'll die from trying. There are forces at work that guarantee it. Well done, as usual--all and more that we expect from James Grippando. This is his sixteenth book and eighth in the popular series featuring Miami lawyer Jack Swyteck. The author writes legal thrillers learned while he was a trial lawyer. This is where he learned his storytelling gift.
