For smart, tough Miami criminal lawyer Jack Swyteck, it was a golden opportunity to help out his beautiful ex-girlfriend Jessie Merrill, who sold her life insurance for a cash payment when she wrongly believed she was dying. Now, thanks to Jack's courtroom prowess, Jessie can keep the $1.5 million she received. But it turns out that Swyteck and the insurance company are both victims of a gorgeous scam artist. And when Jessie's lifeless corpse is discovered in his bathtub, the attorney is suddenly wanted for murder. Framed and desperate -- on the run from the police and a powerful criminal consortium willing to go to any lengths to retrieve the money -- Jack must exhume the dark secrets of a buried past to save his freedom, his career, and his life. But even his unique legal skills cannot keep him out of the murderous sights of a cold killer -- one who wants Jack Swyteck's blood . . . and is beyond suspicion.

Well-paced, good characters, strong plot.

Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2013

Verified Purchase

Very good read. The plot and the subplots mingled well, I liked the character, who were well-drawn, and the ending was a complete surprise. I don't rate books well that are something of a pain to stay with but which compel me to do so because I want to know what happened. That kind of book does not make an evening go down well. This book is a pleasant read even though the tension is there throughout. The only thing I did not like is a frequent complaint these days. A bad guy--I won't say why because that would give too good a clue--is a church-going Christian, obviously an evangelical, who does very bad things in his secret life. Being a retired preacher, I have known a few of those in my life, but it seem to be a too-easy caricature. As often as this is done in all kinds of media these days, it projects an unfair image of evangelicals, and it has become so trite that it reduces the quality of the story. I suspect a lot of people out there agree on this. But still, I strongly recommend the book.

Grippando Scores With Jack Swyteck

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2013

Verified Purchase

Viatical Settlements: A terminally ill patient signs his life insurance benefits over to a group of investors; in exchange, the investors pay an immediate lump-sum cash settlement to the patient, usually about one-half of the value of the policy. The patient gets the money now, and the investors get the full value of the policy at the patient's death, thus doubling their investment.

I never heard of viatical settlements either, until I read "Beyond Suspicion" by James Grippando. Jack Swyteck unwisely, as it turns out, decides to represent a former lover in her case against an investment company who bought her policy when she was diagnosed with a terminal disease (ALS), and now wants the money back because it turns out she doesn't have ALS and she isn't going to die anytime soon. Jack wins the case for her, and almost immediately begins to discover that the whole thing might have been a big fraud.

That's a great plot twist, and there are plenty more in store for the reader. Things are never what they seem to be, and Jack finds himself dealing with bigger problems than just an angry group of investors. For starters, he is immediatley implicated in the fraud case, and in the process is alienated from his wife, because it looks like he was in it with his former lover. And it just keeps on getting better.

I've always enjoyed James Grippando's works, and I think this is one of his best!

Express pace, intricate plot but no great characters

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2012

I was reading John Grisham, finding myself unable to complete "The Testament" when a friend recommended James Grippando. JG claims (Kindle review pages) that the ending will knock your socks off so this is the first of his books I have read. The pace is fabulous, varying between express and quick, the story tightly contained. This is the sort of stuff that executives at Universal Studios like: a crime thriller, a very focussed story, stakes that multiply, a likeable character in deep jeopardy whose situation keeps getting worse, a jaw-dropping inciting incident and a nice climax. Only the characters are not complex or convoluted and the climax is "nice" but not as awesome as claimed. There is a marginal dose of intellectualisation as with any legal thriller but the forays into Jack's wife's troubled past did not work for me--it was as if the author was trying to make her more human and all it did was lessen the pace. Her past does have a context, however, which is clear in the end so I am not complaining. All in all, the pluses outweigh the minuses by a lot; rivetting stuff.

Enjoyable reading, but...

Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2019

...some sloppy editing. Specifically, p. 299 (of the mass market pb) refers twice to killing the viatical investors. Uh, has that happened in the book at all? No.

Better than Patterson, no Lehane or Connelly, but I'll read the next couple to see if the series develops a bit more depth and plot variety. So far, in the first two Swyteck books, Jack has been the primary murder suspect in both.

Couldn’t put the book down. Cops and robbers - of the foreign frightening variety, drugs, hatred, jealousy and a little love on the rocks thrown in, all make for one enjoyable read. Don’t miss this book. It’s a page-turner!

Jack's old girlfriend Jesse Merrill tricked him into taking a case where she scammed a group of investors out of one and a half million dollars. Jesse is found death in a bath tub in Jack's home. Jack finds himself trying to keep from being indicted for Jesse's murder. Jack starts to suspect the investors had Jesse killed for the scam. The characters are great, the drama is great and the twists and turns keeps you spinning for an ultimate thrill ride.

I had a hard time for a few seconds each time the author switched from one character to another.
I did find the ending very good. I will probably try this author again.

The author writes a great story. His style
of writing keeps your interest in continuing threading, you don't want to put it down. This was the first of his books that I have read, and it won't be last. His style of writing just grabs you and reels you in. If you read this book be prepared to burn the midnight oil.
