ELVIS IS BACK...AND FIGHTING CRIMEFrom J.R. Rain, the international #1 bestselling author of over ninety novels, comes the epic standalone mystery noir that asks the question: What if Elvis faked his death?It's tough being the King.Which is why in 1977 Elvis faked his own death and endured massive facial reconstruction surgery, and disappeared from the limelight to live a normal life as the unassuming Aaron King. Unfortunately, leaving fame behind also meant leaving his fortune behind, too, and now Elvis finds himself broke and living in near poverty in a small apartment in Los Angeles. Luckily for him, it turns out he's a pretty good private investigator.Now in his seventies and contemplating a return to music (discreetly, of course), Elvis is hired to solve a baffling missing person case. The King digs deeper, and soon finds himself surrounded by the seedier elements of Los Angeles, from nefarious Hollywood producers who prey upon the young, to twin brothers with a very dark secret.And as Elvis pieces the bizarre puzzle together, he slowly makes his singing comeback-and will be reunited on stage with someone even the King himself never dreamed possible.For fans of Robert B. Parker, Robert Crais, and Sue Grafton Elvis Has Not Left the Building is a standalone mystery thriller with over 100,000 copies sold and counting The #1 bestseller in Mystery, Private Investigations, and Hard-Boiled Fiction ★★★★★ "Imagining that Elvis faked his own death, lives as a PI in Los Angeles, and is tortured by not knowing his daughter is a fantastic premise for a book. Having grown up on Elvis movies and music, I loved the idea that the King still lives. Rain tells the tale beautifully, sets up a mystery expertly and is as fun to read as Elvis was to watch. Even if you never heard of Elvis and live in a cave in Siberia, you'll be thoroughly entertained by Elvis Has Not Left the Building. I'm hoping this is a series..." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "Loved it This is definitely a crazy good 'can't-put-down-until-your-finished' kind of book I absolutely adored this book If you haven't read this, it's a must If your not already a fan of J.R Rain, he's a must, too Everything Mr. Rain writes has me turning pages and not accomplishing much until I'm finished No spoilers here... but I will say it's a super fun story Well worth it " ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "Elvis Lives As an Elvis fan, I loved this quirky book... just to imagine Elvis reappearing after thirty years as an incognito Private Detective is a blast I think that the author captured Elvis's personality and was able to 'write him' into this fun plot. If you love Elvis, you will get a kick out of this book." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "The premise is that Elvis is not dead, but alive and with a surgically altered appearance, has become a private investigator. While it seems quirky, it really works, and is a fun part of the story. I enjoyed this read, and would buy it again " ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "When I started to read this book I had no idea I would get so hooked. I read it in two days and loved it. The idea that Elvis is alive and working as a private investigator is mind blowing. The ending was very touching and I loved it. J.R. Rain is an incredible writer and I enjoy reading all his novels." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "Let it rain J.R. Rain that is I recently discovered this fabulous author and can't stop reading his books They are smartly written and have a great slice of humor. I can't wait to read everything J.R. Rain puts out " ―Amazon reviewer

Winter Wind continues to establish Rain's standard for unique mysteries and thrillers, richly-layered characters, exciting plots, big questions and even bigger answers-answers that keep readers thinking long after the final page.★★★★★ "Wow I am absolutely blown away This book is an emotional hard hitter. Rain really doesn't pull any punches, he puts you right in there in the middle of it with Lee. Which is an amazing roller coaster ride. You would think that a blind, deaf, and mute main character would scream 'boring', but it's anything but The searing emotional loss, the gingerly putting himself back together again, the relentless search for meaning, his absolute devotion to his guide dog Betsie." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "This form of storytelling is very intimate. It feels like the protagonist is speaking directly to you. Sharing their most private thoughts. Lee's story is beautiful. I thought it would be an awkward read given his condition. Not at all. He is coming out of his cocoon in this story. I hope he speaks to J.R. again so we can revisit him." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "What an amazing storyline Completely blew me away. I was pulled in from the beginning and couldn't put this book down. The storyline was well written and well thought out. It was full of mystery, hope and humor. Lee had such a humorous outlook. I loved his sarcasm. His journey was quite astounding. I laughed, teared up and laughed again." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "I'm not one to usually leave a review for a book, but WOW this one was great. Loved the whole premise and you really got to know the main character." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "A supernatural story that was a treat for all my emotions. I found this book to be more emotional than I had anticipated. The mystery was almost secondary. It is an achingly moving story of a severely disabled ex cop, hurt on the job, his beloved canine companion, the earthly people in his life and the other worldly angels who make his life worth living. That he solves a disturbingly sick crime is a testament to the angels around him. I carried my Kindle into a public place but had to put it away as my tears flowed freely as I turned the pages. Unlike anything I have ever read and I have been around for a long time. Be prepared, be open and enjoy ―A
