Defending a woman accused of murdering the man who sexually
assaulted her, Miami lawyer Jack Swyteck must uncover where
the truth lies between innocence, vengeance, and justice in
this spellbinding tale of suspense—based on shocking
true-life events—from the New York Times
bestselling author of Gone Again.
According to the FBI, the most dangerous place for a woman
between the ages of twenty and thirty is in a relationship
with a man. Those statistics become all too personal when
Jack Swyteck takes on a new client tied to his past.
It begins at the airport, where Jack is waiting to meet his
old high school buddy, Keith Ingraham, a high-powered banker
based in Hong Kong, coming to Miami for his young daughter’s
surgery. But their long-awaited reunion is abruptly derailed
when the police arrest Keith’s wife, Isabelle, in the
terminal, accusing her of conspiring to kill the man who
raped her in college. Jack quickly agrees to represent Isa,
but soon discovers that to see justice done, he must
separate truth from lies—an undertaking that proves more
complicated than the seasoned attorney expects.
Inspired by an actual case involving a victim of sexual
assault sent to prison for the death of her attacker, James
Grippando’s twisty thriller brilliantly explores the fine
line between victim and perpetrator, innocence and guilt,
and cold-blooded revenge and rightful retribution.
