The Ghost Case Posse
Book Baby, October 2025

Jedidiah “Jed” Bouvier, a weary idealist and recovering alcoholic, is defending Dexter Wayne Jones—the most reviled man in the county. A confirmed serial rapist and suspected murderer who is a copycat of the infamous Golden State Killer, Jones is accused of having slaughtered a family decades earlier. But despite damning evidence, the first trial ended in a hung jury.

Jed and his co-counsel, Tara Singh, battle relentless prosecutor Catalina “Cat” Galvez in the high-stakes retrial, but sinister forces are moving behind the scenes, driven by a ruthless desire for justice the courts are unable to deliver. Suddenly, a juror from the first trial is murdered; another disappears, and Jed’s neighbor, a hulking ex-cop with a dark secret, seems peculiarly interested in the proceedings.

Set in fictional Murrieta County, California, north of Sacramento, what begins as a legal drama spirals into psychological suspense, as Jed uncovers the true identity of the woman he loves—and the nightmarish truth about delayed justice, retribution, and the price of idealism in a broken system.

Praise: “Greco delivers a dialogue-heavy courtroom drama that manages to move briskly and avoid any tedious legal verbiage. …This success is thanks to the author’s clear and occasionally sardonic narrative voice …, believable dialogue, and a cast of characters who manage to transcend their plot functions to feel like real people. … The result … meaningfully probes themes of justice, forgiveness, and revenge. A satisfying blend of legal drama and psychological thriller.” —Kirkus Reviews
