Rain Gods

The second novel in the highly acclaimed Hackberry Holland series.

Hackberry Holland is a man haunted by a chequered and traumatic past. A former POW from the Korean War, he has left everything behind to become sheriff of a dried-out, broken-down border town in south Texas. Hack soon finds himself dealing with more than just his own demons when nine dead prostitutes are dug up behind a run-down church. The search for justice - and revenge - pits Hack against hired guns, drug dealers, and a psychotic killer known as The Preacher.

As Holland tries to end the killings and bring justice to the dead girls, he discovers just how dark the deepest corners of the human heart can get, and how redemption can come in the form of a woman's love...

Praise for James Lee Burke:

“Richly deserves to be described now as one of the finest crime writers America has ever produced.” DAILY MAIL
