Jack Swyteck is a Miami criminal defense lawyer, and his girlfriend Andie is an FBI agent. Jack has a somewhat
strained relationship with his father, Harry Swyteck, who happens to be the retired Governor of Florida.
When the Vice-President of the United States dies of an apparent heart attack while alligator hunting in
Florida, the President taps Harry Swyteck to become the new VP. Harry hires his son, Jack, to be his lawyer in
Washington but the partnership is short lived.
Jack keeps running into people who don't think that the Vice-President died of natural causes and then they
suddenly die before they can tell Jack the whole story.
A mysterious man, a Greek from the distant past, enters the scene with information that can blow the entire
riddle wide open and bring down the President of the United States. But this man is hunted and desperate and
is running for his life.
The tale builds to an amazing crescendo as the Greek kidnaps Jack Swyteck and then commandeers a television
broadcast studio and takes his case to the viewing public on live TV. The police would like to shut down the
broadcast but that would clearly put Jack's life in danger. Film at eleven...
It's definitely a fast paced and exciting book. Author James Grippando knows how to make the reader squirm.
The plot is wild and the action impossible but it sure is entertaining. It's a fast, easy to follow read.
