James Grippando

press release: Sponsored by the Friends of the Dwight Foster Public Library, New York Times bestselling author James Grippando will speak at Fort Atkinson’s Hoard Museum on Thursday, May 16, from 7 to 8 p.m. 

Grippando’s celebrated gift for infusing electrifying storytelling with thought-provoking ideas has earned him the Harper Lee Prize, critical acclaim, and millions of fans, with 2019 marking the twenty-fifth anniversary of the debut of Jack Swyteck, one of the most popular and enduring lead characters in the legal thriller genre. 

Now, Grippando and his dynamic protagonist are back with the fifteenth entry in the blockbuster series. Timely, emotionally resonant, and nail-bitingly suspenseful, “The Girl in the Glass Box,” thrusts the crusading lawyer onto the front lines of the illegal immigration crisis, and embroils him in a case where his client faces a far graver obstacle to her freedom than the U.S. government.  

“The Girl in the Glass Box” is Grippando’s 27th novel. Also a practicing attorney at Boies Schiller Flexner LLP, Grippando lives in south Florida and teaches “The Law and Lawyers in Modern Literature” at the University of Miami School of Law.
