After six exciting thrillers in seven years, bestselling author James Grippando is at last bringing back the main character from his blockbuster debut novel, The Pardon.
Criminal lawyer Jack Swyteck doesn't handle many civil cases. But this one is different. His client, Jessie Merrill, is a gorgeous ex-girlfriend who's being sued.
At the trial, Jack pulls off a brilliant victory and Jessie gets a hefty settlement. But then Jack finds out it was all a scam. Two days later, Jessie's body turns up floating in Jack's bathtub. As the evidence mounts against him, Jack finds himself on a collision course with dark secrets from the past and a possible killer is beyond suspicion.

“A Hitchcockian thriller…[with] well-placed twists and turns.”
“[Grippando] certainly has the imagination and research skills to plot up a storm. Readers…will find themselves riveted.”
“[Beyond Suspicion] is chock-full of legal-thriller atmosphere and local color, and it’s easily a match for anything written by big names such as Grisham or Margolin or Lescroart. If further Swytek adventures are anything like this one, keep ‘em comin’.”
“Grippando writes in compact prose, quickly moving from one situation to the next. The legal situations are clearly written and understandable, and the characters are well rounded…fans of legal thrillers will particularly enjoy this latest novel.
" Another great novel by Grippando. I'm so happy I found this author and I'm glad he has written a lot of books. "
" A Miami criminal defense lawyer agrees to defend an ex girlfriend and thus involves himself in a web of deceit, double cross and murder. Pretty good story. "
" The plot was well laid out, however, I just wasn't very interested in the characters. They didn't develop very well in my opinion. "
" my 1st Jack Swyteck...pretty gripping read...finished it in a few hours...current plot line with those commercials now on TV about "structured settlements"...will read more "
" I usually like his books a bit more. Still, a good beach/summer book. "
" A pretty gripping read. I finished it in a few hours and I felt like I had just watched a standard 90-minute thriller movie. I'm not sure that this warrants a second read. "
" Interesting way to use time. Somewhat predictable. "
" Good book. First one that I read with the lawyer Jack Swyteck. Had a hard time putting it down. "
