Panicked and on the run, Falcon takes Jack's best friend, Theo, as hostage. They end up barricaded in a motel room, and Theo isn't the only one at Falcon's mercy. Jack has to work with the cops and their crackerjack hostage negotiator to free Theo and the other hostages before Falcon decides he has nothing to lose by killing them all.
But what Jack doesn't know is that Falcon has a much bigger agenda, and that people behind the scenes will stop at nothing to keep their dangerous secrets. Thus unfolds a lightning-paced story, as only James Grippando can tell it.

Editorial reviews
In the latest installment of this author's Jack Swyteck series, Jonathan Davis gives an uplifting performance to an implausible plot. A homeless man, who has access to several hundred thousand dollars, kidnaps Swyteck's best friend, Theo, who is tough and streetwise and is, thus, an unlikely victim. Factor in a female police officer who is the mayor's daughter who, in turn, is in love with a blind hostage negotiator - and you have a smorgasbord of improbable fun. Davis to his credit, gives this melodrama a spirited performance in clear, authoritative tones. He's at his best when describing the kidnapping, the most exciting scene in the story.

What the summary leaves out is that this story has it's roots set in the "Dirty War" in Argentina that took place in the '70s and early '80s when the Argentinian government became a military state that used terrorism to persecute political dissidents and socialist or anyone thought to be either. Most of these people (which numbered in the thousands) just disappeared.
Again Jonathan Davis does an excellent job narrating.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Grippando/Swytek has a style about him that keeps the reader glued from page one to page last. What I really liked about this book was how the action kept rising and rising to a climax and then the anti-climax kept rising to finally the falling action and resolution took place. As I say, character development was very strong particularly with the chief antagonist, "Falcon" and fellow protagonist, police negotiator "Vince". Of course, chief protagonist Jack Swytek is strongly developed. Theo Knight, Jack's "side kick" played a pivotal role as well.
I don't re tell story lines in my reviews, but kudos to Grippando for his character development of the blind Miami Police negotiator Vince. The research spent unraveling that character's inner thoughts and instincts was not only time well spent story wise, but educational as well in understanding what goes on in the professional and personal life of a blind police officer/negotiator.
No question, this was a great read. I highly recommend it to any Grippando fan.
Good addition to the series

Shocking

The publisher lays out the premise well enough, but like reviewer Shelly I was moved by the brutal political purge of thousands in Argentina in the 1970s. I was blown away by the author’s take on its history and have subsequently begun to research the subject on my own.
That said, the characters, suspense, intrigue along with Jonathan Davis’ outstanding narration make this a 5 star experience.
