Black Horizon Description
From Booklist
The eleventh Jack Swyteck novel opens with the attorney and his new wife, FBI agent Andi Henning, honeymooning in the Florida Keys. The honeymoon is cut short, though, by an offshore disaster: an oil-drilling platform in Cuban waters has exploded, pumping oil into the ocean. Almost immediately, Jack is asked to represent a woman whose husband died in the explosion in a wrongful-death suit against the platform’s owners (it’s owned by the Venezuelan government but was manufactured by a Chinese company). Meanwhile Andi is sent off on an undercover assignment. Jack knows only that it involves the Chinese, but it quickly turns out that Andi’s case could be closely connected to Jack’s own. With a story that’s ripped from the recent headlines (remember the 2010 BP oil spill?), this is a solid legal thriller that should appeal to the author’s fans. --David Pitt
