"This debut novel is excellent...expect great things in the future from this talented young writer." Malcolm Watts, author of Reflections from Shadow

"Richard's ability to write a scene and make it believable is on par with the likes of Stuart Woods...RAINCLOUD was like a breath of fresh air for me..." Daniel Boucher, The NovelBlog.com

"Richard S. Todd seems to be a writer who could just as easily slip into poetry and govern it as seamlessly as he does crime fiction...Raincloud could easily be appreciated as a new form of noir legend. A book to read in mist, a book to read in a rainstorm..." Cathy Petch, Lipstik Indie


Sky Lake Entertainment  proudly announces the release of Raincloud: A Novel, an iUniverse 'Editor's Choice' selection, on May 21, 2008.

Poverty. Drug Addiciton. Desperation. Violence. Almost routine for the Native Canadians of Sky Lake. But when Jimmy Raincloud falls to a serial killer that is leaving a trail of bodies outside the tiny village, the animosity that exists between it and the white population of nearby Scanlon Creek threatens to escalate to terrifying proportions.

Hank Gillespie, a nightmare-ridden, mixed-race detective from Scanlon Creek, must save his own life as he penetrates the violent criminal underworld of police corruption, drug dealing, and depravity in an effort to find the murderer.
