Summary
" A] thrill-a-minute novel."
-- USA Today Jack Swyteck is back in action in Born to Run --the eighth outing for the danger-prone Miami lawyer in author James Grippando's New York Times bestselling series. In this timely and spellbinding thriller, Swyteck is embroiled in shady Washington D.C. politics when his own father is selected by the President to replace the Vice President, killed in a hunting accident. Born to Run crackles with suspense, surprises, and razor sharp wit--"a fun 200-proof yarn," the Washington Post raves--and serves as indisputable evidence, as crime fiction superstar Harlan Coben attests, that "Grippando grips from page one."
