Cold Rains

by George Wier

Jim Rains is no slouch when it comes to tracking down and bringing to justice society’s roughest criminals, but Melissa Sossville—blue eyes, corn silk blond hair, perfect figure and no more than 95 lbs. soaking wet—may be his ultimate match. She’s the stuff of every man’s dreams, and she’s also Jim’s worst nightmare, because while the law may be on his side, Missy usually gets her way, come hell or...worse.George Wier is the acclaimed author of The Bill Travis Mystery series and the Elysium series. He lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife Sallie, two dogs and two cats. He writes mysteries, thrillers, science fiction and steampunk.

About the author

I was born in East Texas and spent most of my life there, principally around the Bryan and College Station area. I moved to Austin, Texas, in 2002 and shortly thereafter began writing The Bill Travis Mystery series. I currently live in Austin with my lovely wife, Sallie, along with two cats and two dogs.
​
Writing is both my avocation and my vocation, but to add to these I play both classical violin and country fiddle, and I dabble in art (mostly drawing and painting), photography, and book cover design.

I began writing in earnest in 1986, although I have been creatively writing far longer than that, practically since I could read (at a very formative age.) I find that I have far more ideas than I could ever write down, and so I pick and choose only the best story ideas. I write what I, myself, like to read, and nothing more.

Was it different? Yes it was. Was she a good one turned bad or a bad one who couldn't stay bad?

It is difficult for the reader to say which, However Rains appears clear that she was ultimately no good.
Will keep you guessing, almost till the end. Not the normal thriller.

Rains a whole new direction for George Wier?

Seriously, that was exciting and fun to read. It took me a bit to not think of Jim Rains as Bill Travis' alter ego but that is just because I think I've read 15 Bill Travis mysteries.
George Wier I enjoyed the neck out of this "movie"!

Enjoyed but sorry felt rushed

I really enjoyed Jim Rains as a character but I didn't like the way he is painted as a loner and than falls in love with the first woman he sees. Than to top it off, he falls in love with the second one he sees. It seemed rushed and I would have enjoyed seeing him grow into the second, final relationship. Now he is married and has a kid.......boom.
