About this listen
“This is the eighteenth Swyteck novel since The Pardon (1994), and it’s just as good as the rest. Grippando keeps coming up with complex and timely cases, and this one is first-rate.” — Booklist
A contentious intellectual piracy case leads to an unsolved murder, and Jack Swyteck’s client—a pop music icon—is the accused killer.
Piracy costs the movie and music industry billions. No one has been able to stop it. But that won’t stop Miami criminal defense lawyer Jack Swyteck. His latest client, Imani Nichols, is a Grammy-winning popstar whose career has skyrocketed. Despite her success, she’s the most underpaid superstar on the planet because of an onerous record contract she signed as a teenager with her now ex-husband Shaky Nichols, who has made himself rich off her royalties.
Preferring to see thieves profit from her music than let her ex-husband pocket one more dime, Imani takes to social media and tells her millions of fans to “go pirate” and download her music illegally. Her hardball tactic leads to scorched-earth litigation, and now she needs Jack’s help.
The case takes a deadly turn when salacious allegations of infidelity send Imani and Shaky down a path of mutual assured destruction, each implicating the other in the unsolved murder of Imani’s extra-marital lover twelve years ago. Tyler McCormick died of asphyxiation, and his body was found in Biscayne Bay, chained to a piling with the words ""goodbye girl"" impressed on his chest. Despite their fierce denials, Imani and Shakey are both indicted for murder, leading to a sensational trial that exposes shocking secrets about their failed marriage, their cut-throat business partnership, and Imani’s astonishing success.
Yet as Jack discovers, uncovering the truth about the killing and the cryptic “goodbye girl” won’t just exonerate or convict his client, her ex, and their music empire. It may shape the future of the entire recording industry.

Story
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

I Always Enjoy the Jack Swyteck novels!!!!
I’m a big fan of James Grippando and have enjoyed all of his books and this is a very good addition to the Jack Swyteck series. Swyteck always either seems to get roped into a case he wasn’t interested in or prepared to take on. That appears to be the case with this one. He goes from a music piracy case right into a murder case with the same client. I don’t think he believes his client is truly innocent. There also seems to be some contention between his wife’s FBI case and his client’s case overlapping and their agreement not to discuss what each is working on. It looks to me as if future books may have a little more drama if they begin sharing information that could potentially damage one or both cases they might be working on.
Jonathan Davis does a superb job narrating.
This book is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

This author is always hit or miss for me. This book was a home run for the author BECAUSE Jonathan Davis is Jack. This story was about the journey and getting to hear Mr Davis tell you a tale. You are not racing to the end of the story but savoring the listen. Shelly’s review is spot on.
