The Heresy of Rain (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781953932082)

Henry King is a soulstorm of spirit. Henry King is a blues pianist in Galveston, TX where he plays most nights at a high-end cocktail club, Sammie's. The blues comes out of him in a rapture, taking hold of anyone fortunate enough to be in his presence. His piano sings of love, loss, and those feelings indescribable with words. The love songs he has written are all for his wife, Grace, who is a beautiful, blind woman.

Henry King has a gambling problem. On many nights he'd stay late at Sammie's to get in on the poker game run by unsavory characters. Henry King racks up a large debt, and one day, these men come to collect. Grace King, innocent to Henry's problem, pays with her life.

Suddenly, Henry King sets out on a path of violent vengeance. Will trading a life for a life fill the void in Henry? Or will he be hunted down by the Galveston sheriff, Henry's own godfather, before he makes a choice he can never return from?
