With tainted meat the weapon and corporate greed the motive, THE KNOWLAND RETRIBUTION is an extremely topical suspense-revenge thriller. Walter Sherman, aka The Locator, is a tracker who honed his skills in Vietnam. The colorful cast of characters includes Sherman’s two friends—a bartender with a mysterious past and an old black man who smokes likes a chimney; a feisty young woman who writes obituaries for the NY Times; a Southern lawyer who has lost everything and has only one things to live for; and a group of Wall Street investment bankers who make a deadly decision. The action takes the reader from a tiny Caribbean bar on the island of St. John to the editorial boardroom of the NT Times, from the gleaming skyline of Atlanta to the isolation of northern New Mexico, from Adirondack hideouts to Manhattan suits to Mississippi backwoods.
"Greener makes his debut with a simple, taut premise…a small triumph of a thriller. An ideal beach read.”—Publishers Weekly
“Greener’s plot is complex and original…The Locator will find a legion of fans.” —The Gumshoe Review
"Intricate and intelligent. Richard Greener has turned revenge into an art form.” – Martin Cruz Smith, New York Times bestselling author of Gorky Park

This book reads like a good movie! Greener takes you from Billy's Bar in the Carribean to the offices of the NY Times. From the click of each gun shot to the smell of fear in the boardroom, you get a front row seat. You will cheer for Leonard and Walter equally. Revenge has a new a spelling G-R-E-E-N-E-R!

Hmmm...where to start! Too many characters to keep track of, no real emotional attachment to anyone, too much jumping around from place to place and from past to present, 300 and some pages to say what could be said in fewer pages. So, to sum up, I didn't like it! The only reason I read this book was because of the show "The Finder", which was based on these books. Too bad the show was cancelled-it was MUCH better than this book!
