About this ebook

Jack Swyteck, a brilliant Miami defense attorney has spent years rebelling against his father, Harry, now Florida's governor. Their estrangement seems complete when Harry allows one of Jack's clients -- a man Jack believes is innocent -- to die in the electric chair.

But when a psychopath bent on serving his own twisted version of justice places both Jack and Harry in extreme jeopardy, the two have nowhere to turn but to each other. Together they must find a way to overcome their cunning tormentor's manipulation . . . even as the stakes are being raised to far more perilous heights.

Ratings and reviews

Would have given 4 stars if the book didn't have a massive amount of typos. Hard to read when you have to decipher the typos.

I would have given another star but the grammar and punctuation was so poor, it made it difficult to read.

Ripping yarn could not put it down
