Infernal Rhythms. Rainmaker Hayes, #1

A new series from a 12x Writers of the Future Contest nominee author introduces an epic urban noir fantasy tale pitting the battle between Good and Evil into the gritty, greasy, grimy world of Blues music. Rainmaker Hayes captivates anybody he so desires with music that comes from another dimension. With a magic guitar and a dark, secret power, he transports people from the here and now into another world - one as unpredictable as it is dangerous.
He could use this power for good. But he does not. As a member of the Army of Darkness, Rainmaker does the Devil's bidding. Finds righteous, mortal souls and turns them wicked through a series of tricks and bargains, transforming their lives toward something greater. Eternal darkness. But when he uses his unique talent on what appears to be a simple man named Sandoval, Rainmaker's musical power meets something else altogether.
Something that makes even the Devil Himself sit up and take notice. A noir series as dark as the liquor-laced corners of the juke joints through which the action slithers like an evil snake in the Good Book, the author of both the Ledgerman and True Name series brings a new installment in an epic saga filled with howlin' Blues, plenty of bad behavior, and the beginnings of a mysterious war that perhaps even the Devil doesn't yet know how to win.
