Raven Rain: A Johnny Delarosa Thriller

By David Stever

"Sharp prose and vivid characterizations elevate this detective story." Kirkus Reviews

When ex-NFL quarterback Stan Shelton walks into McNally's Irish Pub with a blackmail problem, private investigator Johnny Delarosa expects a celebrity scandal with a manageable price tag. Stan has been hiring escorts. Someone found out. Now they want a hundred thousand dollars and a week to pay it.

Johnny has seen worse.

Then a woman's body is thrown from a moving SUV in front of Stan's building. Then a police detective goes missing. Then the escort service Johnny has been tracking turns out to be something far darker than an indiscretion - a trafficking operation run by a woman named Talia Thorne, who has raven hair, emerald eyes, and a twenty-year history with Johnny that neither of them has ever fully left behind.

He pulled her from a crack house hotel when she was a teenager. He bought her clothes and a pink stuffed bunny. He lost her before he could help her. She never forgot.

Neither did he.

Raven Rain is the third novel in David Stever's Johnny Delarosa series - the most emotionally ambitious installment yet, and the one that changes everything.
