Storm Runners” by T. Jefferson Parker (2007)


Review #106

Matt Stromsoe is a walking-wounded former cop whose wife and son were killed in a car explosion meant for him. His last chance for salvation is being bodyguard for beautiful TV weatherwoman, Frankie Hatfield. Hatfield possesses her deceased Dad’s secret formula for making rain that a sociopathic exec at the L.A. Power & Water wants destroyed. In Southern California, as the San Diego weather lady puts it, "Rain is life!" Rain is also raw power in the land of avocadoes and sod farms.

The LAPW exec has enlisted the aid of the same vengeful gang leader responsible for the murder of Matt's family. The case takes him from fragrant orange groves in the San Diego hills to the cold cement of Pelican Bay State Prison.

This is an imaginative and exciting book and I really liked the good guys!
