Winter Wind

Description

Lee Jordan was once one of the LAPD’s best detectives. Until a bomb ended his career, and nearly his life. Now he's blind, deaf, and voiceless. Scarred inside and out. Haunted by the explosion that killed his partner and left him marooned in endless darkness and silence. His only lifeline is Betsie, his brilliant guide dog, and the patterns of a lonely, carefully controlled existence. But the city he loves doesn't stop needing help just because he's broken. When Lee’s old captain asks for help solving a string of chilling disappearances—ten people gone without a trace—Lee finds himself pulled back into the world he thought he’d lost forever. Using tactile sign language, braille case files, and the unerring instincts that once made him the best, Lee works to see what no one else can. Because even in the dark, the truth is out there. Winter Wind is a raw, unforgettable noir about resilience, redemption, and the desperate search for justice when everything else has been stripped away. Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, Jeffery Deaver, and hard-boiled mysteries with a heart. WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: ★★★★★ “Wow! I am absolutely blown away! This book is an emotional hard hitter. Rain really doesn’t pull any punches, he puts you right in there in the middle of it with Lee. Which is an amazing roller coaster ride. The searing emotional loss, the gingerly putting himself back together again, the relentless search for meaning, his absolute devotion to his guide dog Betsie.” ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ “This form of storytelling is very intimate. It feels like the protagonist is speaking directly to you. Sharing their most private thoughts. Lee’s story is beautiful. I thought it would be an awkward read given his condition. Not at all. He is coming out of his cocoon in this story. I hope he speaks to J.R. Rain again so we can revisit him.” ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ “What an amazing storyline! Completely blew me away. I was pulled in from the beginning and couldn’t put this book down. The storyline was well written and well thought out. It was full of mystery, hope and humor. Lee had such a humorous outlook. I loved his sarcasm. His journey was quite astounding. I laughed, teared up and laughed again.” ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ “I’m not one to usually leave a review for a book, but WOW this one was great! Loved the whole premise and you really got to know the main character.” ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ “A story that was a treat for all my emotions. I found this book to be more emotional than I had anticipated. The mystery was almost secondary. It is an achingly moving story of a severely disabled ex cop, hurt on the job, his beloved canine companion, the earthly people in his life and the other worldly angels who make his life worth living. That he solves a disturbingly sick crime is a testament to the angels around him. I carried my Kindle into a public place but had to put it away as my tears flowed freely as I turned the pages. Unlike anything I have ever read and I have been around for a long time. Be prepared, be open, and enjoy!” ―Amazon reviewer Click BUY NOW or READ FOR FREE today!
