RAIN
“They said God couldn’t stop crying when Miranda Haley died. That’s why it never stopped raining in Coldwater, Ohio.”
In 2014, Detective Logan Rainn is a disgraced, discontented, forty-six-year-old drunk who’s ready to die four hundred miles away from Coldwater, where Miranda disappeared on her eighteenth birthday in 1999 at the hands of a sadistic, masked psychopath who called himself Mr. Girl.
But on the fifteenth anniversary of her disappearance, Logan is found by Miranda’s younger sister, Wynter Haley – now an investigative journalist.
After a decade and a half, Mr. Girl has sent another letter to the police.
And the letter hints that Miranda is still alive.
Galvanized out of his paralysis, Logan returns to Coldwater with Wynter to reunite with his old partner – Dr. Laken Harold of the FBI’s BAU – and reignite the task force they formed to hunt violent serial killers like Mr. Girl, dubbed Operation Rolling Thunder.
But in order to uncover the mysteries of the present, Logan must reopen the wounds of the past.
Born with a photographic memory, he recalls the entire story of their investigation from 1998 and 1999, and must examine his own relationship with Miranda as she approached the cusp of adulthood, the cryptic mysteries and riddles left behind by Mr. Girl as he terrorized the Coldwater orphanage known as the Rain Shelter, and the path of violence and destruction left in Logan’s own wake as he tried and failed to protect the girl.
As they investigate the enigmatic darkness surrounding Mr. Girl, as revelations become more and more disturbing, murders more and more shocking, as Coldwater’s secrets are pried open from a hushed casket, Logan must answer one question at all

Serial killer crime thriller of the year - 5 stars
Buckle up, this book is HEAVY but in the best way possible. It’s filled with DARK, messed up murders, and a story that pulls on your heart strings.
Lucas has an incredible way of writing a story that has you hooked from the beginning, and leaves you scrambling to finish as fast as possible. A story line so intricately woven; you truley don’t know where it will end.
I laughed, I cried, I was mortified, and I couldn’t put it down.
