Hear No Evil

This rather strange story finds Miami attorney Jack Swyteck having his arm twisted to defend the attractive Lindsey Hart, who is accused of killing her Marine Corps husband one morning at their home on Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. As it turns out, the husband is the son of a noted Cuban exile who has become rich enough to run his own Cuban refuge rescue service. Needless to say, Jacks name is mud around Miami.

Jack is completely stonewalled by the military in Gitmo. Surprisingly, he is offered assistance by the Cuban military which has extensive surveillance of the American sector. But that is only for starters in the surprise dept; Jack also visits his mothers childhood home in Cuba and finds far more than he anticipated. All of these threads and more finally come together in Lindseys trial.

Overall, the book is interesting but it is a bit of a hodgepodge of this and that. Its almost like the author was not sure of what story he was writing.

I didn’t care much for this book. I’m not especially interested in Cuban culture and I got tired of Jack’s obsession with a child he thinks is his. Just because a woman he knew gave birth to a son ten years earlier didn’t make him a father. The boy’s father was the man who adopted and reared him. Theo calling him Jacko just doesn’t sound like something Theo would say. Theo wasn’t in it enough either.

One of the best- a roller coaster – when you think it cant get any tenser it drops down and the tension builds again. My only criticism – sadly the ending peters out

Another good book in the Jack Swyteck series. Kept you guessing the whole time and even when you thought you finally figured it out they changed it. Look forward to the next book.

As a native Miamian married to a lawyer, I love that Jack Swytek is a Miami, Florida lawyer and most of the series is at least partially set in Miami. Jack and his onetime death row client, Theo, are irresistible. I picked up book #5 of this at the New Orleans airport a few months ago and have been ripping through the whole series. Definitely worth a read.
