What to expect

Award-winning author Chuck Greaves returns with the rollicking sequel to his acclaimed debut novel, Hush Money.

US Senate candidate Warren Burkett has a history of marital infidelity. Three weeks before Election Day, Burkett comes to the aid of a beautiful green-eyed lady, only to find himself alone and naked in a stranger's home from which a priceless painting is missing. As the resulting scandal threatens to tilt the election, the painting turns up in a most unexpected place—and so does a dead body.

Hired to defend Burkett and unravel the deepening mystery, Jack MacTaggart must traverse a minefield of ruthless politicians, felonious art dealers, swarming paparazzi, the amorous wife of Burkett's billionaire opponent, her mobbed-up brother, and a district attorney with an old score to settle.

With the electoral clock ticking and the press following his every move, Jack's investigation leads him on a roller-coaster ride through the lofty heights and gritty depths of Southern California, lending new meaning to the adage that all's fair in love and politics.

Critics Review

“Greaves’s legal thriller with comic overtones successfully builds on his multi-award-nominated series debut (Hush Money) and will amuse Californians with its spot-on cultural references.”

Library Journal

“The breezy MacTaggart—whose bywords are ‘Trust me. I’m a lawyer’—is always good company.”

Booklist

“In
Green-Eyed Lady, his sequel to Hush Money, Chuck Greaves has the recipe
for a sure-fire hit: several dead bodies, two politicians short on good sense
and willing to do anything, one stolen masterpiece, one political scandal…then two, the timer counting down to a critical election, and Jack MacTaggart—a
lawyer with a heart, a conscience, a wry sense of humor, and steel balls—who
loves to turn up the heat…and voila, a tasty dish you’ll want to consume in
one sitting.”

Deborah Coonts, author of So Damn Lucky
