Killing Rain Killing Fire

The River Trail Jogger Pete Pinel's ex-wife is viciously attacked near the Orange County stadium where the Angels sometimes play. Chance or design? Hopelessly dying, Veronica begs Pete to honor an old promise. Unable to let go, however, he charges first into a savage place of California street-gangs. Fever-fired by a souring bullet wound, Pinel hounds El Tigre and the Fallen Angels underground to an apocalyptic climax at a hideout called The Pit. Returning only then to a last goodbye haunted by echoes of a first hello, Pinel discovers what Veronica really wants ... but can he give it? Killing Rain, Killing Fire is psychiatrist/playwright Joseph Hullett's first novel. His dramas - staged from New York to Los Angeles - have earned awards that include the Julie Harris Award, the Ventana Play Award, Silver Medal in the Pinter Review Prize, and finalist selection for both the Arts and Letters Drama Prize and the Heideman Award. Philosopher's Stone - the long-awaited sequel to Killing Rain, Killing Fire is also available in paperback and Kindle editions, as are a third novel, Another Time, and two collections of short stories - Men with Women and WayFinder.
