More than 80,000 Tim Greaton novels have been downloaded in
the last few months.
Just as the City of Portland Maine is struck with a
horrific crime wave of high school drugs and teenage killings, Lead Detective
Priscilla Harris’ life swirls out of control. A terrible car accident has
derailed her son’s basketball dreams, so he quits college and turns to
methamphetamines to cope. To keep him from backsliding any further, Priscilla
spends thousands of dollars on two drug rehab programs, but when the second try
fails she doesn’t know where to turn. Worse yet, she learns her husband has
stolen the remaining $30,000 of her inheritance money to run off with his
beautiful, blond secretary. In the midst of it all, a mysterious red-gloved
stranger is stalking both Priscilla and her son.
Can Priscilla find some
way to save her city and her son before the bodies of more Maine teenagers are
found stacked like cordwood?
In “The Santa Shop” Tim Greaton showed us
the bitterness of despair and the sweet taste of hope. In this second book of
“The Samarians Conspiracy” he serves up a full, seven-course emotional meal.
Priscilla’s story will drag you through the depths of struggle and despair but
not without amazing rewards.
One reviewer says, “Tim’s fans will follow
him to Hell in gasoline raincoats….”
You're invited to find out
why.
A note from the author:
Dear Reader,
Thank you for
considering "Red Gloves."
When I was about sixteen years old, several
police cars converged late at night on my father's house. Apologetic for
disturbing our family, a detective explained that a local 24-hour store
attendant had been stabbed and I was one of a handful of known males about the
right age and within walking distance.
I was visiting my girlfriend's
house several miles away at the time, and the detective readily agreed with my
father that it wouldn't be right to embarrass my girlfriend's family by showing
up there. Instead, my father called and asked if I could "...get home right
away!"
My girlfriend's mother kindly offered to drive me, but because she
had just finished a glass of wine she dropped me off several blocks from my
home, a location not so likely to invite questions about her sobriety.
Unfortunately, that added twenty minutes of walking time before, quite confused,
I walked past the police cars in front of my house and through the door. The
detective took one look at my slim frame, button-up shirt and dress slacks then
acknowledged I didn't look anything at all like the criminal.
I was, of
course, relieved even if my evening had ended early. But, as the apologetic
detective turned to leave, he gestured to one of the patrolman and said, "Do you
think you could drop this young man back where he was?"
That detective's
kind manner is a trait I modeled while writing this novel. Our female detective
is street savvy but not jaded, and even though her personal life is filled with
disaster, she continues to treat the people around her with compassion and
respect.
I enjoyed spending time with Lead Detective Priscilla Harris,
and I hope that if you do decide to share her experiences that the conclusion of
her difficult journey will leave you with a smile.
Thank you once again
for sharing so generously of your time.
Your friend,
Tim
Greaton
