Bestselling author James Grippando is back with another innovative and action-packed thriller featuring his ever-popular hero.

Jack Swyteck gets caught in a dangerous web of intrigue and murder at the top levels of the United States government in his most high-profile and disturbing case yet.

Miami criminal defense lawyer Jack Swyteck guards his own family secrets closely, after his father's two terms as Florida's governor made some personal rifts public. Things between the two men are finally better, and whenever Harry Swyteck asks for Jack's help he gets it. Suddenly, Harry needs it more than ever before.

When Harry's friend, the vice president of the United States, goes hunting for alligators in the Everglades and winds up dead, the president positions Harry to be his new VP. Harry immediately asks Jack to be his lawyer.

The prestige that comes from the job turns lethal, however, when Jack finds himself at the heart of a complicated cover-up that spans nearly fifty years and the globe. Before hostages can be released, an old secret must be revealed, one that could threaten the life of the president of the United States himself.

James Grippando is the bestselling author of fifteen novels, including Last Call, Lying with Strangers, When Darkness Falls, Got the Look, and Hear No Evil, which are enjoyed worldwide in twenty-six languages. He lives in Florida, where he was a trial lawyer for twelve years.

A message from James Grippando

My dad was a stripper. Okay, now I've got your attention. Actually, he was a printer for almost thirty years, and the technical term for his skill was -- I kid you not -- "stripper." My mother was a teacher and later a published author. With that combination, perhaps writing was in my genes.

I write thrillers, and it's no accident that thirteen of my fourteen novels--including one for young adults--are legal thrillers. After all, twelve years as a trial lawyer taught me a thing or two about telling stories. (I said telling stories, not making them up, wise guy.)

My latest novel, Born to Run, is my sixteenth overall, and the eighth in the popular series featuring Miami criminal defense lawyer Jack Swyteck and his outrageous sidekick, Theo Knight. I hope you'll have fun surfing . I hope you'll have fun surfing through my website. We spruced it up, added more content, and gave it a fresh look. Now you can learn about me, my books, and some interesting stories behind the books. You can even e-mail me. Thanks for visiting, and be sure to drop me a line. I'm grateful to all my readers, and I enjoy hearing from each one of you.

All best wishes,
James
