The Rainy City

"Earl Emerson is one of the best of the new private eye writers."

— Chicago Sun-Times

Something made Melissa Nadisky flee her husband and their daughter. The note she left behind paints a picture of a woman haunted by a private hell. Now Thomas Black's friend, Kathy Birchfield, wants him to find Melissa — before she's consumed by her secret, terrifying demons.

Yet the straightforward missing persons case turns deadly when a killer starts silencing key witnesses in Black's investigation. But there's no turning back — especially after the sometimes-psychic Kathy tells him about her terrifying vision: a weeping little girl and a pit full of human bones... .

"Emerson is right up there with the best in the genre when it comes to bringing the elements of mystery to a rolling boil."
