Book excerpt: From a beloved master of crime fiction, The Lonely Silver Rain is one of many classic novels featuring Travis McGee, the hard-boiled detective who lives on a houseboat. Travis McGee has luck to thank for his reputation as a first-rate salvager of stolen boats. Now Billy Ingraham, a self-made tycoon, is betting that McGee can locate his $700,000 custom cruiser. McGee isn’t so sure. He knows all too well the dangerous link between Florida boatjackings and the drug trade, and he’s vowed never to swim with the sharks—but if he wants to keep his head (AKA finances) above water, swim he will. “As a young writer, all I ever wanted was to touch readers as powerfully as John D. MacDonald touched me.”—Dean Koontz Even though McGee doesn’t feel like sticking out his neck for this case, Billy’s wife, Millis, convinces him to step up to the challenge. Sort of. After a pilot friend leads him to the stolen vessel, McGee immediately regrets not going with his gut. The yacht is no longer an ordinary boat. It’s a slaughterhouse. After witnessing the sordid scene, McGee realizes he’s knee-deep in the white-hot center of an international cocaine ring. In the midst of this terrifying ordeal and an affair with a very dangerous woman, McGee is shocked by the return of a secret from his past. Over the years, McGee has recovered many wrecks—now he’ll need to salvage his own life. Features a new Introduction by Lee Child

Download or read book Silver Rain written by Niema Foxe and published by LifeRich Publishing. This book was released on 2022-07-07 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SILVER RAIN, a 3-volume book, takes the reader on an evocative and thrilling ride through romance and interludes in a type of descriptive writing that ‘old school’ romance writers once used. It covers the gamut of innocent musings, love, heartbreak and loss in passages remiscent of T.S. Elliot, Saigo, and Pablo Neruda. The author escorts its readers into an evocative world that defies time, space, and current outlooks to swamp them with a magnificent array of writing that begins with her own self-descriptions, thoughts, musings and lyric writings that seem to spring from a type of modern VICTORIAN setting. Her writing style transports you to a sweeter, better existence of life and love in all its trappings, realizations, and final acceptance of life rules and processes. This book is a must-read for those who are die-hard romantics, or for those who can really appreciate the written word. SILVER RAIN is a compelling and uplifting work of art, innocent yet seductive, that can be enjoyed and reread for many years to come.

Her heart heals as she falls in love with Stone and his two lovely Indian children, but neither knows whether their love is doomed if Tess finds herself transported back to her former life, a life she no longer desires. Stone Chisum has enough on his mind, trying to make a go of his ranch and keeping the town busybodies from taking the children he loves, the son and daughter of Stone's former love. He doesn't need a beautiful city woman from another time, used to luxuries he can't provide. Despite how hard Stone fights against it, he can't deny his growing feelings for Tess, and with a little angelic help, the newly formed ranching family might have a chance at love.
