A Killing Rain

"From the startling opening to the stunning finale, a masterpiece of shock and surprise, a gritty Florida tale told with relentless skill. P.J. Parrish's best book yet." — Mystery Scene magazine Shamus and Anthony Award finalist! A deep freeze is bearing down on the Florida Everglades, the kind of brutal storm the locals call a killing rain. For detective Louis Kincaid, the coldest night of the year has brought a terrifying new chill -- the kidnapping of a boy who has come to look up to Louis as a father-figure. But Louis soon realizes this is not a routine kidnapping. It is the start of a killing spree by two ruthless men who are using the boy as a pawn in a deadly game. With time running out, Kincaid must track his twisted adversaries who are one step away from committing the ultimate horror. "Not many authors today so successfully combine an examination of the characters' psychological lives with hardcore action and unrelenting suspense the way that Parrish can...truly compelling reading." — Oline Cogdill, South Florida Sun-Sentinel
