Overview

Boxed set of three #1 bestselling mystery novels featuring private investigator, Jim Knighthorse, including:

DARK HORSE
When high school student Derrick Booker, the only black student at a posh Orange County high school, is accused of killing his white girlfriend, ex-college football hero and detective Jim Knighthorse is hired to dig a little deeper into the murder. It doesn't take long for Knighthorse to realize that not all is as it seems at tranquil Huntington High, from a band director who preys on the innocent to a vice-principal with a secret agenda of her own. Not to mention someone's hired a professional killer to keep Knighthorse permanently off the case. As the investigation continues, Knighthorse's personal life is shattered by the discovery of new evidence relating to his mother's unsolved murder, a murder dating back twenty years. Reeling from the discovery, a determined Jim Knighthorse sets out to bring two killers to justice.

THE MUMMY CASE
Private investigator Jim Knighthorse takes on a very, very cold case. When historian Willie Clarke dies of mysteriously of dehydration in the California deserts, ex-football hero Jim Knighthorse is hired to dig a little deeper—and discovers a shocking connection to one of the West's oldest mysteries. Over a hundred years ago, an unnamed cowboy was murdered in the California desert and, due to freak weather conditions, would become mummified within twenty-four hours. Now known to the world as Sylvester the Mummy and displayed in a creepy curiosity shop, Sylvester and historian Willie Clarke will be forever linked in mystery. That is, unless private investigator Jim Knighthorse can survive long enough to untangle one of the West's greatest unsolved murders.

HAIL MARY
In this third book of the series, Private investigator Jim Knighthorse finds himself on the trail of his mother's killer, a cold case spanning two decades. While on the hunt, he takes on a brutal case that takes him into shark-infested waters and deep into the heart of Mexico. All the while, Knighthorse comes closer and closer to finding his mother's killer...and there's going to be hell to pay.

REVIEWS:

"I read Dark Horse by J.R. Rain. He's the author of Moon Dance, that I reviewed last column. The author is a private investigator, and it shows; this is another fast moving and entertaining detective story. It is the first of a series, published by Lulu.com. Rain is surely destined for larger success, if he can get the right break; his fiction is fun reading."
—PIERS ANTHONY, bestselling author of Xanth

"I finished Dark Horse late last night. I enjoyed it immensely—very good story, J.R.! I really liked your dialogue, which kept me chuckling each time I sat down to read the book. Add great character and scene descriptions and a well-paced plot, and you've got a gripping story indeed. I can honestly say your book was as entertaining as anything I've ever read from Patricia Cornwell. I can easily see Dark Horse moving to the big screen!"
—AIDEN JAMES, bestselling author of Plague of Coins

"Dark Horse is one of the best books I've read in a long time! A great classic detective story with a modern twist. Unique and interesting characters (I think I'm half in love with Jim Knighthorse now!), a great plot that kept me guessing until the end, and some of the funniest lines I've read anywhere. Rain does an amazing job of blending suspense, mystery and humor in this fantastic debut novel destined for the keeper shelf."
—GEMMA HALLIDAY, bestselling author of Spying in High Heels

    Entertaining

    I really enjoyed J.R. Rains Moon series and I'm looking forward to the next one...that said, I was disappointed in the Knighthorse series. I read all three and found them entertaining but not at all as much as the Moon series.

    Rain for the win!

    You can't help but like the arrogant Jim Knighthorse in this great series of books! I could barely put these down. Such a greatly written adventure! Keep on writing J.R.!

    Jim Knighthorse with his cheesy grin and huge NFL body will win your praise and will leave you wanting more of his investigations. Great read. What fun!

    well worth reading

    Jim Knighthorse is a great lead figure. He is very human with strengths and flaws. The adventures are interesting and the cast is outstanding.

    Highly Recommend - I thoroughly enjoyed!

    Really enjoyed these books - hope there are more in the works! They are entertaining and a quick read - check them out. This character was first mentioned in the "Moon" series by J.R. Rain, which I also enjoyed.

    great reads, kept me reading through all 3 books

    I enjoyed these books, and I couldn't stop reading them. They are at times funny, sad, and lots of action, too. Good old-fashioned mystery entertainment that will keep you reading until you have finished the series.
