A spellbinding novel of suspense from New York Times bestselling author James Grippando, in which Miami’s top prosecutor becomes a prime suspect in his wife’s disappearance, which may have a chilling connection to the woman he can’t forget.
Unbelievable was the word for her. Samantha Vine was unbelievably beautiful. It was unbelievable that she’d married me. Even more unbelievable that she was gone . . .
Samantha died too soon. Abe Beckham’s new wife has helped him through the loss, but some say it was a step back to marry Angelina, a love from Abe’s past. Abe doesn’t want to hear it, and through the ups and downs, he’s even managed to remain a star prosecutor at the Miami State Attorney’s Office.
Then everything goes wrong. A woman’s body is discovered dumped in the Everglades, and Abe is called upon to monitor the investigation. The FBI is tracking a killer in South Florida they call “Cutter” because his brutal methods harken back to Florida’s dark past, when machete-wielding men cut sugarcane by hand in the blazing sun.
But when the feds discover that Abe had a brief encounter with the victim after Samantha’s death, and when Angelina goes missing, the respected attorney finds himself under fire. Suspicion surrounds him. His closest friends, family, professional colleagues, and the media no longer trust his motives. Was Angelina right? Was their marriage not what they’d hoped for because he loved Samantha too much? Or was there another woman . . . and a husband with a dark side who simply wanted his new wife gone?

Disappointingly flawed work from an author with a great track record By CintiBonnie After discovering James Grippando's early novels, I would eagerly await his new releases. Unfortunately, I have not enjoyed his current works anywhere near as well. My biggest issue with Cane and Abe is the plot. The core story line is extremely reminiscent of a popular bestseller that was released 2 years prior. In addition, there were red herrings thrown in that went no where and were not even mentioned when the story wrapped up. As for the characters, I did not think they were well-developed at all, with perhaps the exception of the protagonist. In fact, many of the players acted in unrealistic ways, with little explanation as to motivation. One secondary character with emotional issues became incredibly grating as the story wore on, with multiple examples of the same behavior. As I approached the conclusion of the book (borrowed from the library), I started to wonder if some pages were missing. With less than 10 pages left to go, I felt the quick wrap-up left too many questions hanging. For Grippando fans who still want to read it, I recommend waiting for the mass market paperback.

Florida Sugar - Not so sweet By plane Grippando, a south Florida resident presents a stand alone novel involving an indictment of the Sugar growing companies harvesting cane in the mid section of Florida. These companies have been there for many years and have the reputation of being laws unto themselves. Abe Beckham, a prosecutor for the state of Florida becomes involved with an ongoing investigation seeking a serial killer targeting white women who are married or are dating a black man. At one point in his past Abe had been married to a black woman that was killed by cancer. At the present time he is married to a girl he had been involved with prior to his meeting Samantha Vine, his deceased wife. The serial killer had left the mutilated bodies of his victims on the cane fields of the Sugar companies. In the novel Grippando incorporates an unofficial history of the horrible conduct of the sugar companies towards the people hired to harvest the cane as cutters. Alleged crimes include putting the workers into debt as soon as they start by charging for basic tools, eatable food and drinkable water, causing these people to become hopelessly indebted to their employers. The search for the killer proceeds coupled with the sudden disappearance of Abe's wife, Angelina giving rise to the possibility of a copy cat killer This might be a copycat because another victim is found, a black girl, while the others were all white. In typical Grippando fashion the pace of the story is fast and absorbing with principal characters well sketched out. Like most of his other novels the reader will find him or her self in an all nighter and caught in the action at the start.
9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Absolutely loved it! By Carole Wooten 5 Stars!I absolutely loved this book. I simply could not put it down and found myself guess right up until the very end. I have been a huge fan of James Grippando since I read his 2006 novel while on vacation that year. I have read quite a few of his books but I will admit that I have not read all of them at this point. I have yet to be disappointed in any of his work that I have had the chance to read.Abe Beckham is a prosecuting attorney at the Miami State Attorney's Office. Abe's first wife Samantha died young and Abe is still very involved with her brother, J. T. and her father, Luther. Abe has recently married Angelina and is moving forward in his life. As part of his work, Abe finds himself involved in a murder case that may be part of a string of murders. All of the previous victims have been white women dating black men and the newest victim is a black woman. Are the murders connected? Is it a copycat murder?Abe and Angelina have hit a rough patch in their marriage. Angelina does not like how involved Abe is with J. T. and Abe's fidelity is in question when it becomes known that he is connected to the latest victim. Angelina goes missing and is feared to be the newest victim. Abe goes from star prosecutor to the main suspect in his wife's disappearance.The writing in this book is fantastic. It is told mostly from Abe's point of view who I found to be a likable albeit imperfect character. All of the characters felt realistic to me. The pacing of the story was perfect and I found myself having a very difficult time putting it down.I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a fast paced book full of twists and turns. This newest book from James Grippando is not part of a series so it is a fantastic place to sample this consistently good author's writing. I plan to look for future works from this author and catch up on a few of his past books as well.
