Paperback: The fourth Jack Swyteck mystery finds the Miami defense lawyer in unfamiliar territory.
When a woman asks him to defend her against the charge of murdering her husband, Jack is initially reluctant: the victim is a U.S. naval officer; the crime took place at the naval base at Guantanamo Bay; and Jack has almost no experience with military courtroom procedures.
But the woman has a very persuasive reason for Jack to take the case (all right, it is a little far-fetched, but it works), and soon Jack finds himself fighting for his client's life in an arena that is brand new to him.
Hear No Evil (2004) is a tight, smartly constructed mystery - with military overtones - that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. It is the fourth instalment in the well-written Jack Swyteck legal series set in Florida, USA.
