MEET JIM...
A WALKING, TALKING SKELETON


With no gun, no shoes - heck, no pants - Jim the Skeleton has a wry sense of humor, an eye for the ladies and a nose for solving crime. He's also got Internet fans, a cult following and no explanation for what he is or how he was created. He seems to be just bare bones held together by wires, and yet, he lives, thinks and feels... and works as a private investigator in Seattle.

Jim's newest client is blonde bombshell Lucy Newman, a rich woman with a dead husband and two blackmail demands that arrive twelve years apart. Lucy thought the past was dead, but what she fears most is rising from the grave. And though she's curious about the good detective himself, she's got a big problem that will challenge his investigative expertise: who is blackmailing her and how can this person be stopped?

As Jim digs deeper, Lucy reveals a dark secret that will rattle his bones from head to toe. Can he solve this case and save Lucy from her past? Or will the truth come crashing down around them in a pile of bones?

"'Skeleton Jim' is a great story! But just as important, Jim is a great character! J.R. Rain doesn't miss with this one! Jim is a fully fleshed out fellow, and this story carefully leads us through his origins while he solves a particularly entangled case. I didn't put my Kindle down until the story had come to its conclusion, and then all I could think was, "I wonder when the next one will be out?" Definitely a must read!" - Amazon reviewer

"'Skeleton Jim' is a fun short story about a skeleton that just came alive in a science class one day. Very unique and clever!" - Amazon reviewer

"Loved it! You almost think while reading that Skeleton Jim is real. Would love to meet him. Lol. This is a quick and fun read." - Amazon reviewer

"I love J R Rain! Once again he has made the fantastic totally believable. He managed to tell the story so well that I felt like I was there listening too. You'll love it!" - Amazon reviewer

"I really liked 'Skeleton Jim.' It was a nice quick read but it kept me guessing. I really just love this character. A live skeleton who has his PI license, what's not to like? He is very serious but so cute you just want to pinch his cheek. Oh but, he doesn't have a cheek! He doesn't have a lot of stuff but he is a quick learner and not much gets past him. I expect some really fun stories out of this character and I am eager to see what happens to him next." - Amazon reviewer
