For the last four years the town of Goodlands has been stricken by drought. For the last two years its bank manager, Karen Grange, has been foreclosing on her clients - ordinary people who now have to grit their teeth to give her the time of day. Then in the early hours of the morning Karen sees a TV interview with a man who claims he can make it rain and in desperation she writes to him.
Now, a year later, when she'd forgotten she'd ever sent the letter, at eleven o'clock at night, he's here, dusty and dishevelled, on her doorstep, asking for money she hasn't got, trust she hardly dares to give.
Tom Keatley, the rainmaker, has come. And in his struggle for the soul of the dying town, all the powers of corrupted nature are about to be unleashed . . .
