In This Rain

By: S. J. Rozan

Narrated by: Susan Ericksen

Three years ago, a child's death sent one innocent man to prison and blew open a vortex of corruption at the heart of Manhattan's lucrative construction industry. Joe Cole was that innocent man. A former Buildings Department inspector, the ex-con now lives a broken life, cut off from his wife and daughter, and from the city he loves.

But a woman's murder and the death of a young man rip open old wounds - plunging Joe and his former partner, a beautiful, hard-charging investigator, into the darkest corners of the city and into a desperate race to expose the secrets that help the powerful hide their crimes.

Critic reviews

"From the mean streets of Harlem to the chilly corridors of City Hall, Rozan vividly evokes New York City in all its sound and fury." ( Booklist)

Fan of Rozan but this one awful

Very bad narrator who shrieks 60 percent of the time. Story thin and convoluted to take up space. Undercurrent of racism. Really too bad.
