Now a New York Times bestseller!
Inheriting your uncle’s supervillain business is more complicated than you might think, particularly when you discover who’s running the place.
Charlie’s life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank would approve his loan.
Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with an island volcano lair) to Charlie.
But becoming a supervillain isn’t all giant laser death rays and lava pits. Jake had enemies, and now they’re coming after Charlie. His uncle might have been a stand-up, old-fashioned kind of villain, but these are the real thing: rich, soulless predators backed by multinational corporations and venture capital.
“The Green Line” is a gripping debut mystery-thriller by E.C. Diskin. The story follows Abby Donovan, a hardworking Chicago lawyer on the brink of achieving her dream of becoming a partner at her prestigious law firm. However, her life takes a dramatic turn when a late-night train mishap lands her in a dangerous world of drugs, gangs, murder, and corruption.
