Intent to Kill

The New York Times-bestselling author delivers a “tight, twisty thriller . . . Hums along like a sizzling fastball thrown straight and sure” (Providence Journal-Bulletin).

Bestselling author James Grippando is back with a gripping stand-alone thriller. Intent to Kill electrifies from the first inning on—as a fallen baseball star-turned-sports radio “shock jock” tries to expose a conspiracy and outwit a killer. Crackling with Grippando’s trademark suspense, inventive plotting, and unforgettable characters, Intent to Kill is a grand slam from the author Nelson DeMille calls, “A very intense and ingenious storyteller.”

“This book has it all: sports, crime, money, and romance . . . It’s a delight.” —The Charleston Post & Courier



“A fine stand-alone thriller . . . Grippando readers who know him mostly from the Swyteck series may find themselves thinking: wow, this guy is really good.” —Booklist

“Intent to Kill is one of those rare ‘WOW’ books. The characters are tightly defined; the mystery is just that—a very good mystery that will knock your socks off—along with a soupçon of romance, and a smooth and mesmerizing narrative.” —Fresh Fiction
