Miami attorney Jack Swyteck finds himself in the middle of an international legal battle over a Cuban oil spill that sets him on a deadly mission.
Three summers after the Deepwater Horizon environmental catastrophe, oil is spewing into the ocean again, this time from a drilling explosion in Cuban waters just 50 miles from the Florida Keys. The slick is headed straight for the United States, but the Cubans refuse American offers to assist with the cleanup, and threaten to fire on "hostile" U.S. vessels entering their waters. Backstopping the Cubans is the powerful consortium that owned and operated the rig, and is tied to the Chinese, Russian, and Venezuelan governments, who stonewall all inquiries and relief efforts.
Jack and his new wife, Andie Henning, an undercover agent for the FBI, are honeymooning in the Keys when Andie is called away on an assignment shrouded in secrecy. Jack, too, is soon back at work, representing an American woman whose Cuban husband was killed in the rig explosion. Though the spill occurred in foreign waters, Jack draws on all his legal know-how to file a wrongful death suit in a U.S. court and hopefully bring the young widow a semblance of closure.
Jack?s pursuit of the unimaginably complicated international case plunges him into a dangerous world filled with treacherous twists that lead him - and Andie - to the same shocking realization?that the looming environmental disaster may have been no "accident" at all.

Grippando brings back Jack Swyteck his Miami based attorney, who in the book opening is marrying his longtime girlfriend Andie Henning. Andie is an undercover agent for the FBI and Jack has to accept the fact that much of what she does is confidential and he will not know about it. The two plan a honeymoon to Key West and settle in for days of romance and getting to know each other as man and wife. The getting to know includes the revelation that Andie is pregnant and expecting in about 8 months.
An unexpected glitch suddenly affects both Jack and Andie when an ocean going Cuban owned drilling rig explodes triggering an immense oil spill in the gulf of Mexico that wends it's way towards the Florida keys and up the coast from there. The rig is in Cuban waters and actually is a consortium between Cuba, Venezuela, China and Russia whose group prohibits the U.S. from bringing in equipment to contain the oil spill. The problem falls into both Jack and Andie's laps when the F.B.I. calls her back to work on what might be a terrorist plot to blow up the rig. At the same time Jack agrees to represent a girl whose fiance was on the rig working towards a solution to be allowed to leave Cuba and be with his sweetheart in the United States.
The author covers the activities of both Jack and Andie in their work on what could be the same problem. As always Grippando's knowledge of the intricacies of the law and his explanations of cause and effects in the action tied to these rules makes the action very real to the reader, and allows him to think of Jack as not superman, but a good, knowledgeable practitioner of the law. Andie's role in her portion of the events is in keeping with her image as a woman loving her job, doing it well, but aware of the dangers involved in working undercover. Grippando's books never cease to attract and keep his readers glued to the pages and anxiously awaiting the next novel from him
By plane
I loved all the previous Jack Swyteck Novels but this one is probably the worst one thus far. I love Thoe in all the books but in this one all he does is make stupid jokes and seem like a complete moron during the whole book. In all the other books he is one bad dude that you don't mess with. Theo is my favorite character in this series so I did not like this one. I seem to be one of the few since it's mostly rated 5 stars. Would not read this one again.
