When Darkness Falls

Miami attorney Jack Swyteck gets more than he bargains for after he takes on a homeless man as a client. Soon, nothing is as it seems, in this latest pulse-pounding thriller from the bestselling author of "Lying."

From the moment Miami criminal defense attorney Jack Swyteck is called upon to defend a new client--a homeless man jailed for threatening to jump off a bridge--it's obvious something is amiss. For one thing, the man called Falcon manages to come up with the $10,000 bail . . . in cash. Then the body of a brutally murdered woman is found in the trunk of the abandoned car he's living in.

But it isn't until a panicked Falcon takes a group of innocent people hostage, including Jack's best friend, and barricades himself and his prisoners in a motel room that Swyteck realizes how much is truly at stake. For Falcon has a bigger agenda than suicide, and Jack Swyteck must get to the root of a dark history and bitter secrets before Falcon decides he has nothing to lose by killing them all.
