About this audiobook

“[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, ingenious plotting, and unforgettable characters, Intent to Kill is a grand slam from the author Nelson DeMille calls, “A very intense and ingenious storyteller.”

    Not great - but a good story line."Intent to Kill", by James Grippando, is as interesting, murder mystery thriller. Set in Rhode Island with a baseball background, the plot has twists and turns that kept me guessing until the end. Asperser's syndrome, Russian hit man, MIT, Boston "blue-bloods", minor and major league baseball, all were interwoven in this fun and fast-paced story.
