内容简介 在线阅读本书
Stromsoe was in high school when he met the boy who would someday murder his wife and son . . .
Once Matt Stromsoe was best friends with brilliant, unpredictable Mike Tavarez. That was before Stromsoe joined the San Diego P.D. and Mike left Harvard to run La Eme, the brutal Mexican Mafia; before a vengeance-obsessed Tavarez blew away everything Stromsoe loved, leaving him physically and emotionally broken.
Years later, Mike Tavarez is in prison for life, controlling his vast criminal empire from within a maximum security facility. Matt Stromsoe has rebounded from rock bottom to become a private investigator—and he's starting to feel something for Frankie Hatfield, the beautiful local TV weather forecaster he's been hired to protect from a stalker. But powerful, dangerous people are becoming too interested in Frankie's remarkable experiments with rain. And bars alone won't keep Tavarez from his ultimate goal: to make Matt Stromsoe suffer the unendurable torment of losing everything . . . again.
作者简介 T. Jefferson Parker is the author of thirteen previous novels including the New York Times bestseller The Fallen and the Edgar Award-winning novels California Girl and Silent Joe. He lives in Fallbrook, California.

--This text refers to the Hardcover edition. 编辑推荐 From Publishers Weekly Bestseller Parker's 14th California crime novel opens with an unforgettable sentence: "Stromsoe was in high school when he met the boy who would someday murder his wife and son." The wife and son are both killed by a bomb meant for Matt Stromsoe, an Orange County detective on the trail of his former classmate, Mike Tavarez, now a leader of La Eme, the Mexican mafia. Tavarez goes to prison for life for the bombing, while the seriously injured Stromsoe, after a long recovery, takes a job guarding Frankie Leigh, a popular TV weather reporter in San Diego. Leigh has a stalker, who turns out to be employed by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power; the DWP wants Leigh—and her research on rainmaking—out of the picture. Parker (
The Fallen) creates his usual interesting, multifaceted characters, though the plotting, which reconnects Tavarez with Stromsoe, is clunky. Still, the insights into La Eme and the science of rainmaking as well as the inevitable confrontation between the two principals show why Parker ranks as one of the top contemporary suspense writers.

--This text refers to the Hardcover edition. From AudioFile In this latest from T. Jefferson Parker, Christopher Lane offers a credible narration of a highly incredible plot. Lane's voice is crisp and clear as he tells the story of an ex-deputy sheriff injured in a bomb blast that kills his wife and child. The bomb was set off by a boyhood friend, who is now a Harvard-educated barrio killer. The recovering hero is hired to protect a TV weather reporter from a stalker set loose by the villain. The stalker is trying to steal a rain-making chemical from the weather reporter for the local water and power company chief. Lane's voices lend some reality, but not enough to save this watered-down story. A.L.H. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine--
