Book of the Week: James Grippando's "Last Call"

I don't know why I don't read James Grippando more often. I think I've only read two of his books -- with Last Call being the second -- but I enjoyed both of them a lot. Maybe it's the Florida thing -- do I really want to read another book set in Miami? Or maybe it's the bestseller thing -- could he actually be any good if he's that popular? Whatever the reason, I need to make a note for next time that Grippando is worth giving a try. Last Call features attorney Jack Swyteck helping his old friend Theo Knight, who's in trouble with an escaped con who claims to know the truth about the murder of Knight's mother. Good characters, good story, good thriller.

Young man, I was first introduced to the scribblings of Mr. Grippando by Juanita, a Mexican whore that shared a four day binge, if you will, with me down in Topolobampo during the summer of ninety-seven.

While my travels have never again reunited the pliable Juanita and myself, I have continued to follow the career of James G. and his fine tales of Magic City's Jack Swyteck, esq.

I agree James Grippando is very good. I have read two of his books also.
