About the Book

Stephen King's "favorite American suspense novelist" plunges a woman into secrets of the 1960s and '70s as she races to save her daughter. Peter Abrahams (also known as Spencer Quinn, New York Times-bestselling author of the Chet and Bernie Mysteries) delivers a gripping thriller about a Los Angeles single mother caught up in a conspiracy with roots in 1969's Woodstock Festival. Jessie Shapiro restores paintings for a living, but ever since her divorce from unfaithful musician Pat, she can barely make ends meet. One weekend, Pat fails to bring their ten-year-old daughter, Kate, home. When Jessie goes to his Venice Beach house, she hears a disturbing cut-off message on his answering machine and discovers strange foreign words written in big block letters on his kitchen blackboard. Then her life is threatened. The police are dragging their feet, so Jessie embarks on her own search for Kate. Her quest takes her across the country and back decades, from the drug haze of Woodstock to the lethal jungles of Vietnam to the highest echelons of Russian and American intelligence. The truth--more shocking than she ever imagined--may not set her free. But it could cost her everything.

Review :
"A good thriller needs style, atmosphere and a surprising plot, and Hard Rain . . . has all of these and something extra: depth of feeling." --The New York Times Book Review "Abrahams peoples his intricate plot with vivid, sympathetic characters and places them against a background of '60s music, drugs and subverted ideals to come up with a sure-fire winner." --Publishers Weekly "A class-A thriller." --James Ellroy "A solid mystery/political thriller about a self-reliant average woman thrown without warning into a smoky conspiracy. Riveting." --Library Journal "A riveting tale of betrayal and vengeance set against a backdrop of sixties' craziness and enriched by some wonderfully wicked observations on the way we live and love." --Jonathan Kellerman
