Publisher Description
A spellbinding novel of suspense from New York Times bestselling author James Grippando, in which Miami’s top prosecutor becomes a prime suspect in his wife’s disappearance, which may have a chilling connection to the woman he can’t forget.
Unbelievable was the word for her. Samantha Vine was unbelievably beautiful. It was unbelievable that she’d married me. Even more unbelievable that she was gone . . .
Samantha died too soon. Abe Beckham’s new wife has helped him through the loss, but some say it was a step back to marry Angelina, a love from Abe’s past. Abe doesn’t want to hear it, and through the ups and downs, he’s even managed to remain a star prosecutor at the Miami State Attorney’s Office.
Then everything goes wrong. A woman’s body is discovered dumped in the Everglades, and Abe is called upon to monitor the investigation. The FBI is tracking a killer in South Florida they call “Cutter” because his brutal methods harken back to Florida’s dark past, when machete-wielding men cut sugarcane by hand in the blazing sun.
But when the feds discover that Abe had a brief encounter with the victim after Samantha’s death, and when Angelina goes missing, the respected attorney finds himself under fire. Suspicion surrounds him. His closest friends, family, professional colleagues, and the media no longer trust his motives. Was Angelina right? Was their marriage not what they’d hoped for because he loved Samantha too much? Or was there another woman . . . and a husband with a dark side who simply wanted his new wife gone?

“Narrator Jonathan Davis conveys the shifting tension in this mystery…Delivering realistically nuanced voices, Davis uses subtle shifts in tone for female characters and mild but distinct voices for male characters. As the tension rises, Davis’ voice reflects Beckham’s increasing anxiety as the tables turn in his pursuit of a serial killer. Davis’ narration keeps the pace appropriate to to the action and the characters sympathetic while bringing the story to its gripping conclusion.”

— South Florida Sun Sentinel -
“Gripping…Grippando keeps the tension high.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“Another fine stand-alone from the author of the Jack Swyteck legal thrillers…Grippando writes the heck out of this labyrinthine story, keeping us flipping the pages at a frantic pace, trying to figure out what’s going on here. Abe is a very well-drawn character—we’re not quite sure whether we should like him or not—and somehow Grippando manages to answer all of the story’s questions without making the end of the book feel contrived. Very nicely done.”
