A FISTFUL OF RAIN Mim Bracca is riding the fast lane straight off the end of the world. Now she’s coming home without a job, without a future, and without a prayer—and only one last chance to get her feet under her, or go down forever. But home has its own terrors, including a past Mim has done everything possible to leave behind. Now that past is coming back with the shocking speed and deadly intent of a sniper’s bullet, aimed to destroy her once and for all. When Mim suffers her first blackout, waking up dazed and bloodied, she’s certain she’s hit rock bottom. She’s wrong. She’s only just begun to fall. While not a Kodiak story (in fact, Greg's agent and editor have both called it "the story of someone who desperately needs Atticus and Company, and doesn't have them"), it is set in the same "world" as the Kodiak novels with a few, minor, cross-over characters. The novel's title comes from the song of the same name, by Warren Zevon.
