Search - The Pardon

the first jack swyteck book. explains background with father. grippando's writing has improved greatly since this book. still a good read tho, just a bit predictable

I read this bok because it is suppose to be a prequel to another Grippando novel. I did enjoy it and look forward to reading more of Grippando's work. It's a pretty easy read, though and the plot is pretty lightweight compared to other authors like Grisham.

NOT read yet--BUT I expect it to be like his other books. Good read, very predictable..JIM
Jist finished--GOOD explanation of the family dispute..Grippando gets his characters in Deeeeep trouble--impossible to get out..BUT he does---get them out

I have founhd a new author.......loved it....cannt wait to read James Grippando again.

In 1992, Florida governor Harold Swyteck allowed convicted killer Raul Fernandez to die in the electric chair despite the pleadings of his lawyer son, Jack, who claimed to have confidential proof that Fernandez was innocent. Now, in 1994, the man who supposedly gave Jack that proof-the man who claims to have committed the murder that was pinned on Fernandez-is blackmailing the governor by threatening to reveal that he let an innocent man die. Meanwhile, Jack has gotten an admitted killer, Eddie Goss, free on a technicality; when Goss is killed and all the evidence points to Jack as the murderer, the governor faces his dilemma: Will he sign his son's death warrant if he's convicted-or will he try to save him?
