The Power Of Rain

Book One in the Digger Doyle Mysteries

In the sun-scorched city of Las Vistas, New Mexico, the

promise of progress comes at a steep price.

​

Elizabeth “Digger” Doyle, a young reporter at a struggling newspaper, has made a career out of uncovering local corruption. But when a controversial road project threatens a centuries-old Spanish chapel, Digger finds herself torn

between duty and desire.

​

The protest’s passionate leader, artist-activist Maria Ortiz, awakens something in Digger that blurs the line between journalistic objectivity and personal conviction.

​

As a powerful developer pushes to expand his luxury

subdivision and summer storms unleash floods that mirror

the turmoil inside her, Digger must decide which truths are

worth telling—and what she’s willing to sacrifice to tell them.

Set against the dramatic beauty of the New Mexico desert, 

The Power of Rain weaves political intrigue, environmental tension, and forbidden love into a story about loss, courage,

and the relentless pursuit of truth.
