Well-plotted novel

US novelist and lawyer James Grippando delivers a heady mix of culture and family issues in his latest book, Most Dangerous Place, featuring defense lawyer Jack Swyteck. The heart of the book is how rape victims are treated by their families, the police, in courtrooms, on college campuses, in cities, and in their own perception of themselves and the crime. Most Dangerous Place takes its title from an FBI statement that the most dangerous place for a woman between ages 20 and 30 is in a relationship with a man. Grippando skillfully weaves this issue into a well-plotted novel that keeps the suspense high and the characters believable.
