Miami criminal defense attorney Jack Swyteck isn't
looking for a new client, at least not one who is homeless
and in jail for threatening to jump off a bridge. But from
the moment Jack is called to defend the man, who goes by the
name Falcon, something is amiss. For one thing, Falcon comes
up with the $10,000 bail—in cash. Then the body of a
brutally murdered woman is found in the trunk of the
abandoned car in which he is living.
Panicked and
on the run, Falcon takes Jack's best friend, Theo, hostage.
They end up barricaded in a motel room, and Theo isn't the
only one at Falcon's mercy. Jack must work with the cops and
their crackerjack negotiator to free Theo and the other
captives before Falcon decides he has nothing to lose by
killing them all.
What Jack doesn't know is that
Falcon has a much bigger agenda, and that there are people
behind the scenes who will stop at nothing to keep their
dangerous secrets. Thus unfolds a riveting, lightning-paced
story, as only James Grippando can tell it.
