Hail Mary

By J.R. Rain

He doesn't scare easy. He doesn't back down. And this time, the victims can't even speak for themselves.

Private Investigator Jim Knighthorse is used to messy cases, but this one takes the prize. Heidi Mann is convinced her missing boyfriend was murdered by shark poachers. Not just any poachers, but the worst kind: the ones who use live animals as bait.

When Mitch Golden's body turns up shot and dumped in the ocean, Jim's left to untangle a web of threats, smuggling, and cold-blooded greed stretching from California's piers to Mexico's backwater docks. But local cops don't want the trouble. The Feds won't touch it. And the killers are betting Knighthorse won't risk his neck for a cause that's already lost.

They're wrong.

Because this ex-football star with the ruined leg has his own code. He'll stand up for the truth-even when it means squaring off with ruthless killers, corrupt businessmen, and anyone else who thinks animals are just another commodity to exploit.

Hail Mary is the third novel in the acclaimed Jim Knighthorse mystery series. It's gritty, darkly funny, and full of heart, perfect for fans of Robert B. Parker's Spenser, Lee Child's Jack Reacher, and classic California noir with a modern twist.
