Product Description

Many years ago, Jack Swyteck saved Theo Knight's life.

Theo grew up on the streets of Miami's roughest neighborhood and lost his mother to a violent crime. Although his uncle Cy tried his best to raise him right, by the time he was a teenager, Theo was on death row for a murder he didn't commit. Jack was the lawyer who proved him innocent.

Now a successful bar owner, Theo has turned things around. But he needs Jack's help again, this time more than ever.

An escaped convict from the old neighborhood shows up at Theo's back door, asking for help. In return, he'll finger the man who murdered Theo's mother. But the answers aren't so simple, and soon Theo's own life is in danger.

Jack and Theo must piece together a twenty-year-old conspiracy of greed and corruption that leads to the very top of Miami's elite, while revisiting a past that Theo has tried hard to forget. But Theo also has the opportunity to seek the revenge that has fueled him since the day he found his mother dead in the street on a hot Miami night.

Last Call is a brilliant and bullet-fast thriller, complete with revelations that no reader will ever forget.

Well, this is a pretty grim topic to munch on along with youg bagel but . . . have you ever thought you were going to die? I don't mean standing on stage in front of a crowd of people and discovering that your fly is open, or trying to stop the bed from spinning after too many margaritas. I mean lights out, grim reaper, game over, I am going to die!  A realization like that can trigger a range of emotions—fear, anger, sadness, panic, denial, disbelief, and so on. A lot depends on the circumstances. It's one thing for a doctor to say you've got two years to live and quite another to find yourself spinning out of control in an automobile and headed straight toward an eighteen wheeler.

Now, here's another spin on it: Have you ever thought someone was going to kill you? Here again, I don't mean when your high-school buddies dropped you off at 3 a.m. and your father was on the front porch pointing at his watch with a scowl on his face. I mean standing face-to-face with a cold-blooded murderer who has decided that it was time for your life to end.

People who don't live in Miami probably think that everyone in this crazy city has at one time or another fought off a killer. That's probably an exaggeration. I've lived in Miami since 1984, and most of my friends have never had this experience. Unfortunately, I have. Luckily, I lived to tell about it, and if you read the opening scene of Last Call (my new Jack Swyteck novel, just released) you will get an almost dead-on account of what happened to me.

Cycling is one of my hobbies, but here's something that might surprise you. Miami is not a particularly bicycle-friendly city. Key Biscayne has terrific bike trails, and there is a scenic trail leading out of Coconut Grove, but just about anywhere else in the city you're left to fight for a sliver of the lane with automobile drivers who have been voted the meanest on the planet. I've had beer bottles thrown at me from pick up trucks. I've been run off the road by soccer moms in too much of a hurry. And I've been chased by gangs. It was the gang chase that almost killed me.

I was riding my twelve-speed out of Coconut Grove, a world of extremes south of Miami, where some of south Florida's most beautiful neighborhood literally brush
