The Wisdom of Rain: An Ana Orozco Mystery

By Linsey Hackett

ON A MOONLESS NIGHT HIGH IN THE SIERRA NEVADA...

Sheriff's Corporal Ana Orozco cruises a dangerous ridgetop road, searching for a pickup truck that reportedly crashed into the river canyon below. Investigating the accident, she soon finds herself racing to solve a kidnapping, a murder, a sixteen-year-old suspicious death, and treachery in her own department. At the heart of it all is a brutal narcotics network that has gained a foothold in Ana's beloved El Cedro County.

Aiding her investigations is her handsome commanding officer, Captain Ed Givens, along with eccentric independent miner Silas Tuttle, and the kidnap victim herself-a mysterious young woman who works from hiding to bring her tormentors to justice.

But as Ana unravels these mysteries, she's confronted with devastating revelations about those she trusts most...including
herself. Set in the scenic, history-rich, and wildfire-plagued Northern California foothills, The Wisdom of Rain is tightly plotted and suspenseful, with surprising turns and a satisfying conclusion.

The Wisdom of Rain is the first entry in The Sierra Hills Mystery Series. Watch for a continuation of Ana's endeavors in Burnover, coming in the summer of 2022.
