C. Joseph Greaves spent 25 years as an L.A. trial lawyer before becoming a writer. He founded the Pasadena Public Library Foundation in 1982 while still in practice and served on its board of directors for over 20 years, including five as its president. HARD TWISTED (Bloomsbury), his Dust Bowl-era literary debut, was called "a taut and intriguing thriller" (London Sunday Times) and "a gritty, gripping read, and one that begs to be put on film" (Los Angeles Times), and was a finalist for the Oklahoma Book Award in Fiction. The audiobook version of HARD TWISTED, wonderfully narrated by Meredith Mitchell, was selected by Booklist as one of its "Top Ten Crime Fiction Audiobooks of 2013." TOM & LUCKY AND GEORGE & COKEY FLO (Bloomsbury), his second historical/true-crime novel of mobsters and madams, cops and lawyers in Depression-era New York, was named by the Wall Street Journal to its year-end list of the "Best Books of 2015," and was a finalist for, among other honors, the 2016 Harper Lee Prize for Legal Fiction. His third novel, CHURCH OF THE GRAVEYARD SAINTS (Torrey House Press), is a story of home and family, love and loss set in the red-rock canyon country of an American Southwest under assault from oil & gas development. It's been called "one hell of a book" by LONGMIRE creator Craig Johnson, who describes Mr. Greaves as "one of my favorite authors." It was also selected by six U.S. cities to launch their "Four Corners/One Book" regional reading program for 2019-2020. In addition to these stand-alone novels, Mr. Greaves writes award-winning mystery fiction as Chuck Greaves, including HUSH MONEY (2012), GREEN-EYED LADY (2013), THE LAST HEIR (2014), and THE CHIMERA CLUB (2022.)
