Na kraji Michiganského lesa, za rezavými železnými vraty a polorozpadlými kamennými zdmi stojí jedno z neslavně proslulých sanatorií v zemi a jeho zapomenutý hřbitov. Ruina je nyní prázdná a na místo přijíždějí buldozery, aby ji srovnaly se zemí. Sotva práce začnou, vyjde najevo hrůzné tajemství. Tělo v hrobě Claudie Olsenové patří někomu, kdo zemřel za strašlivých okolností. To je jediné, co detektiv Louis Kincaid ví. Co se ale stalo ženě, která je tu pohřbena? Pátrání po odpovědi na tuto otázku přivádí detektiva do labyrintu dlouhých, tmavých tunelů pod léčebnou a ke stopám po nepředstavitelně zrůdných zločinech. Ocitá se v místě, za jehož zdmi je dosud ukryto nejedno tajemství a odkud doznívá ozvěna výkřiků strachu a hrůzy. Proti sobě má inteligentní monstrum, které se dosud nepodařilo umlčet…

Po hurikánu se na pláži nedaleko chatky detektiva Louise Kincaida objeví dětská lebka, vyvržená vlnami. O několik dní později vyplaví moře na nedaleký ostrůvek tělo zastřelené mladé ženy. Nemá u sebe nic, podle čeho by se dala určit její totožnost – kromě neobvyklého prstenu, vyřezaného z korálu …

P. J. Parrishovi se podařilo sloučit motivy dysfunkční rodiny, nezištné lásky, homosexuality a bezohledné honby za mamonem do velkého detektivního vyprávění, které si udrží čtenářovu pozornost od první až do poslední stránky. Brilantně namíchaná směs melodramatu, mysteria a děsu povyšuje Vražedný déšť na originální gotický román zasazený do tajuplného prostředí floridských Everglades.

V ospalém jižanském městě plném tajemství žijí lidé, kteří dosud věří, že je lepší nechat minulost být…

P. I. Louis Kincaid has never liked working for the rich. Despite the blinding white of the Palm Beach pavement and the gleaming metal of the Bentleys at the curbside, it's clear to him that the creepy cleanliness only runs so deep. When the headless body of a male escort is found in the aptly named Devil's Garden, Louis's client is in the frame. Determined to clear his name, Louis is forced to delve behind the bedroom doors of the wealthiest women in the county as he uncovers a series of simila r murders: young, handsome, penniless men who have been keeping company with rich, married, powerful women. But in a county where power is everything, women here will do anything to preserve their place in the social pecking order, and if someone bre aks the rules, someone pays. Louis must watch his back, as behind Palm Beach's united front lurks a killer determined to cover their tracks.
