New York, 1929. Joe Quinn has been given a shot at the NYPD's main headquarters squad and his first case is one that could put his name up in lights: a banker takes a dive from a tall building on to Wall Street. All the signs point to murder. Soon the dead man has company; a group of old buddies is being taken out, in a particularly gruesome manner. The days of corruption are supposed to be over, but nothing in Manhattan is that simple.
For Quinn, the case swiftly becomes a nightmare from which he cannot escape. And the path seems to lead inexorably towards his own father, once New York's foremost celebrity cop.

"This certainly takes the Casey Anthony trial and presents a gripping explanation of the real culprit, the back story and the possible conclusion -- albeit a total work of fiction -- giving the reader a credible story. This includes all the violence, tension, and action that we expect from the cool Miami criminal defense attorney Jack Swyteck. A great read!" — Donna (4 out of 5 stars)

" love the Jack Swytek books "
" I love the Swyteck series but I felt let down by Grippando's latest. Using the similarities to the Casey Anthony trial felt like a lazy move to get another novel out. "
" It was o.k. Much violence. Subject matter is disturbing. Not as good as some of his other works. "
" This is a complicated tale with many twists and turns and surprised. Good story line. "
" Very good. I have never read any of the books in this series but I am going to now. "
" I didn't love this one, but I'm still a big Jack Swyteck fan. "
" It was like the Casey Anthony story. It was ok. I haven't liked his latest books as much as when I started reading his stuff. "
" James is a great author! Read all his books! "
" I did not enjoy this book at all. "
" Enjoyed the story. It had a good twist at the end. "
" Loved this one. Lots of twists turns. Holds your attention from the first page to the end. Excellent. "
" This one is not great literature but pure entertainment. I couldn't put it down. But James Grippando should be applauded for the ability to turn folks into lazy bums. "
" Standard crime thriller, but with an interesting "fictional" spin on the Casey Anthony case. Nothing that will blow your mind, but definitely entertaining. "
" Another good one in this series. "
" This book was an enjoyable thriller and the first book I've read by this author. I can't say it blew me away but was enjoyable. It's very closely inspired by the Casey Anthony case which IMO was a strike against it, I harbor such negative feelings about that case. "
" Read my review on bookreporter.com . "
" Great suspense book! I almost put it aside and didn't read it when it seemed that Swyteck was defending a Casey Anthony type defendant. I carried on though and it turned out to be a really good book, nothing like the Anthony case. "
" I liked this a lot. A good combination of lawyer, crime, family and love, and I could not figure it out until the end. "
" Obviously based on the Casey Anthony trial, but different enough to be suspenseful. Love the character of Jack. Number 10 in a series. "
" "Ripped from the headlines" -- a great take on a Florida court case that grabbed the country's attention. Loved reading about my old "friends" attorney Jack Swyteck, Theo Knight and FBI agent Andie Henning. I loved the characters that Grippando has created! "
" story very much like casey anthony's. swyteck always takes unpopular clients. not much theo "
" This is a weird book. I'm a big fan of JG. That said this book underwhelmed me. Long portions of it feel wooden and formulaic only to take flight in others providing a glimpse of what the book could have been. "
" Really enjoyed this book. I love Jack Swytek and his crazy life, complete with FBI lady love Andie, Theo, and Abuela. Good story, found it amusing to see the parallels with Casey Anthony. "
" My least fav of the Bradby books "
