February 20, 2021 Twenty by James Grippando (HarperCollins)
James Grippando’s reputation for calibrating his novels about Miami defense attorney Jack Swyteck to current events continues with “Twenty.” This 17th novel may be his most timely and controversial.
While including his trademarks of high suspense and character studies, Grippando also takes a massive chance by opening “Twenty” with a school shooting.
A gunman attacks the school where Jack’s daughter Righley attends kindergarten, and his wife, FBI agent Andie Henning, is there. She’s off-duty to attend a parents’ event, and isn’t carrying a weapon. There’s little she can do but make her way to Righley’s classroom and try to protect the children as best she can.
