About the Book

Bestselling author James Grippando is back with another innovative and action-packed thriller featuring his ever-popular hero. Jack Swyteck gets caught in a dangerous web of intrigue and murder at the top levels of the United States government in his most high-profile and disturbing case yet. Miami criminal defense lawyer Jack Swyteck guards his own family secrets closely, after his father's two terms as Florida's governor made some personal rifts public. Things between the two men are finally better, and whenever Harry Swyteck asks for Jack's help he gets it. Suddenly, Harry needs it more than ever before. When Harry's friend, the vice president of the United States, goes hunting for alligators in the Everglades and winds up dead, the president positions Harry to be his new VP. Harry immediately asks Jack to be his lawyer. The prestige that comes from the job turns lethal, however, when Jack finds himself at the heart of a complicated cover-up that spans nearly fifty years and the globe. Before hostages can be released, an old secret must be revealed, one that could threaten the life of the president of the United States himself.

Review :
"A complex plot that . . . doesn't let up. . . . Grippando leads the reader into a twisted labyrinth in which everyone has something to hide, and something more to gain. Pick up Born to Run and you'll have trouble putting it down."--The Free Lance-Star (Fredericksburg, VA) "[A] thrill-a-minute novel."--"USA Today" "A veep with a bum ticker, a mishap on a hunting trip . . . In James Grippando's "Born to Run", it takes on Carl Hiaasen-esque proportions. . . . Grippando spins a fun 200-proof yarn."--"Washington Post" "From the Florida Everglades to Washington politics, the action is hot and heavy when the U.S. vice president ends up dead. [An] intense thriller."--National Examiner "James Grippando is a dependable author who delivers a few hours of thrills every time. . . . You can always count on [him] to offer some time away from the humdrum."--Kingston Observer (MA) "Grippando's wise-guy dark comedy is a great strength of this series. . . . Sure-fire really is the word for him."--Sullivan County Register (NY) "A top-notch thriller with many mesmerizing scenes . . . A distinctive, intriguing tale that could be ripped from tomorrow's headlines."--Lansing State Journal (MI) "Grippando unveils his plot layer by layer, adding in colorful characters. Once you're well and truly hooked, with the suspense drawn tight, it's all blasted wide open. All you can do is hang on. When it's over, the only question is, 'When's the next book out?'"--Romantic Times "Grippando ratchets up the action to a breakneck pace . . . stopping to liberally sprinkle the proceedings with snarky dialogue, pointed satire, and some touching father-son moments. Everything you expect in a Grippando novel and more."--Booklist "A fast and formidable read . . . Adrenaline-fused."--Madison County Herald (MS) "Grippando's innovative spin puts Born to Run in its own category. . . . [He] shows how to shape a plot for maximum suspense."--South Florida Sun Sentinel "Plenty of action and the suspense holds firm until the final pages."--Newark Star Ledger "In this multilayered story with greater depth than a traditional potboiler, Grippando's Swyteck fights a long-standing, but improved, feud with his father. . . . Their interpersonal relationship creates a wonderful platform which Grippando uses to insightfully wrestle with all kind of ethical and familial situations."--Contra Costa Times
