Green-Eyed Lady

Attorney Jack MacTaggart is hired to represent a presidential candidate whose campaign is threatened by a shocking new scandal involving infidelity and stolen art. This is the premise of Greaves’s latest thriller, which is brought to life via a spirited reading from narrator Dan Butler. Butler’s MacTaggart is a stern, focused individual, but one who displays an inherent fallibility despite his expertise in the courtroom. Butler’s characterizations are understated, making them all the more realistic and immediate. The story itself could be ripped from the headlines, and Butler’s portrayal of the candidate is injected with a healthy dose of realism. The result a gripping mix of action and intrigue. A Minotaur hardcover. (June)
