In this unforgettable novel from USA Today bestselling author C. G. Cooper, a college football star struggles to pull himself free from his father’s tangled past.

It’s 1989, and college freshman Michael Greco is ready to leave his dreary small town—and the grief of his father’s death—behind. He has everything he needs for a great year: a starting spot on the football team, new friends, and a promising flirtation with a beautiful grad student.

But just as Greco settles in to campus life, his uncle shows up demanding that he take care of his father’s unfinished business with a powerful Chicago gangster. As Greco is drawn further into this cutthroat world, he struggles to shield his troubled younger brother and spiraling mother from the truth. Can he figure out who he is, and what sort of man he wants to be, before the past extinguishes any hope of a different future?

Unflinchingly honest, C. G. Cooper’s Greco is a complex exploration of identity, alienation, and the weight of atoning for inherited sins.

C. G. Cooper is the USA Today and Amazon bestselling author of more than twenty-five thrillers, including the Corps Justice series, several spin-offs, and stand-alone novels.

Drawing on his time as an infantry officer in the United States Marine Corps―after earning a degree in foreign affairs from the University of Virginia―Cooper sifted his experience through his vivid imagination in Corps Justice, the first novel in the beloved series. Book nine of the series, Chain of Command, earned Cooper the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation’s prestigious James Webb Award in 2020.

While bouncing around the country in search of the perfect vacation (which is anywhere with his family), Cooper has called Nashville home since his final Marine duty station. When not enjoying the laid-back lifestyle of Music City, he’s adding more novels to the list at www.cg-cooper.com.
