I have had this book for a number of years. T Jefferson Parker is one of my favorite authors. I am planning to take the book on a cruise ship (Emerald Princess) and release it "into the wild" after I finish reading it.

Here are some comments from "experts" regarding STORM RUNNERS:

A psychologically sharp crime thriller........Chicago Tribune

The action is nonstop....The emotions are raw.....grief, revenge, redemption and jealously.......Orlando Sentinel

I rank the crime novels of T. Jefferson Parker right up there with the best.....I'm one of his most enthusiastic fans!........Sue Grafton

Parker is superb........Janet Evanovich

If there's a better mystery writer around......well, there isn't....San Diego Union Tribune


Following is a synopsis of STORM RUNNERS:

Stromsoe was in high school when he met the boy who would someday murder his wife and son.....

Once Matt Stromsoe was best friends with brilliant, unpredictable Mike Tavarez. That was before Stromsoe joined the San Diego P.D. and Mike left Harvard to run La Eme, the brutal Mexican Mafia; before a vengeance obsessed Tavarez blew away everything Stromsoe loved, leaving him physically and emotionally broken.

Years later, Mike Tavarez is in prison for life, controlling his vast crime empire from within a maximum-security facility. Matt Stromsoe has rebounded from rock bottom to become a private investigator---and he's starting to feel something for Frankie Hatfield, the beautiful local TV weather forecaster he's been hired to protect from a stalker. But powerful, dangerous people are becoming too interested in Frankie's remarkable experiments with rain. And bars alone won't keep Tararez from his ultimate goal: to make Matt Stromsoe suffer the unendurable torment of losing everything.....again.

I enjoyed this book very much. If you are fortunate enough to find it, I hope you enjoy it too. Good reading to you!
