The Pardon (Jack Swyteck, Bk 1)

This is the first of James Grippando's long-running legal thriller series, featuring attorney Jack Swyteck. I came to this first installment late, after reading and enjoying "Last Call."

At times it is obvious this book was written some time ago, as there are references to looking for a payphone and the buzzing that a landline phone left off the hook makes. The pacing is good, making The Pardon a quick and enjoyable read. The ending was a little Lifetime-thriller-movie cheesy, but can be excused, as this book provides a nice few hour break from reality.
