Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
A rain dog, according to folklore and a Tom Waits song, is a mutt who can't find its way home because a storm has washed away the trail of familiar scents. Chicago newspaperman Tom Coleman is drinking his way out of a broken marriage, grieving for his deceased daughter, when he inherits a backwater canoe-rental business near Valentine, Nebraska. He returns to his home state to start anew, but it seems more like a dead end. Coleman confronts family issues, small-town politics, a crooked cop, his first sweetheart, and the challenge of running a business while passed out drunk on the lawn. His employees--a ne'er-do-well stoner and a disgruntled teen--keep things running until one night when the crooked cop arrives with the flashers on. Coleman smells a story, but he's not covering this one--he's in it. Doolittle's style is clipped, his dialogue terse, but the story is lifelike and nuanced. Rain Dogs will satisfy fans of hard-boiled fiction and classic noir, as well as any crime fans who don't like their plots tied up too tidily. Keir Graff

Review
"Superb, suspenseful.... A beautifully written work with idiosyncratic humor and a lot of heart."--Wall Street Journal
"Lean and mean," -- The Chicago Sun-Times
"A heart-stopping, gut-clenching, eye-opening, brain-tingling effort." -- Chicago Tribune
"Sean Doolittle is a young writer with serious chops. With RAIN DOGS he brings it strong."--George Pelecanos, bestselling author of DRAMA CITY
"As long as there are writers like Sean Doolittle out there, American crime fiction has got a sterling future ahead of it. RAIN DOGS is tense, evocative, and anchored by a main character, Tom Coleman, who I'd love to see more of. A terrific novel."--Dennis Lehane, New York Times bestselling author of MYSTIC RIVER and SHUTTER ISLAND
”Doolittle's style is clipped, his dialogue terse, but the story is lifelike and nuanced. Rain Dogs will satisfy fans of hard-boiled fiction and classic noir, as well as any crime fans who don't like their plots tied up too tidily.”-- Booklist
