James Grippando
In Afraid of the Dark (Crown, $25.99), James Grippando's ninth Jack Swyteck legal thriller, Swyteck has a particularly tough case on his hands. Working with a cast that includes depraved sexual deviants, corrupt private military contractors, and wannabe jihadis, Jack must race to uncover a sadistic killer and his bosses before the conspirators can silence everyone who might speak against them. "Grippando has definitely reached a new level with this series entry," says Booklist in its starred review. A former Miami trial lawyer, Grippando is the author of 13 thrillers.
