In The Green Line, Abby Donovan's decade-long dream of partnership is now just months from fruition. But after a late-night train mishap drops her into a world of drugs, gangbangers, murder, and corruption, everything changes. Abby is haunted by what and who she's seen and the mysterious death of a kind stranger. Though her work suffers, deadlines are missed, and her promotion hangs in the balance, she's compelled to investigate with the help of an unlikely new friend. But Abby's investigation jeopardizes more than her career. Someone is watching and he's not going to let a nosy lawyer expose his scam. In this engaging debut, E.C. Diskin, a former Chicago attorney, takes us on a fast-paced thrill ride that will have readers turning pages late into the night. Kirkus Reviews called The Green Line "satisfying and suspenseful," Windy City Reviews called it "a fast, fascinating read...with riveting characters, a nuanced plot, and an insightful and interesting look at the practice of law in today's America," and Reader Views said the writing is "fast-paced, carefully researched, and driven by a complex plot, nonstop suspense, and page-turning action." The Green Line introduces a cast of characters that will mesmerize readers and have them clamoring for the next installment. (Diskin is currently writing the sequel.)
