More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Elvis Cole is just a detective who can't say no, especially to a girl in a terrible fix. And Jennifer Sheridan qualifies. Her fiance, Mark Thurman, is a decorated LA cop with an elite plainclothes unit, but Jennifer is sure he's in trouble - the kind of serious trouble that only Cole can get him out of. Five minutes after his new client leaves the office, Cole and his partner, the enigmatic Joe Pike, are hip-deep in a deadly situation as they plummet into a world of South Central gangs, corrupt cops and conspiracies of silence. And before long, every cop in the LAPD is gunning for a pair of armed and dangerous killers - Cole and Pike.

I am a great fan of Grisham and Connelly, and was unsure if Robert Crais would measure up. However, I was pleasantly surprised as I read my first Elvis Cole thriller. Crais has developed a fantastic character in Cole - he is sharp, likeable and possesses a dry humour which very much adds to the storyline. He is complemented well by his partner Joe Pike, whose image also raised a few laughs throughout the book. If you enjoy a good thriller without having to analyse the book too much, then I would highly recommend Robert Crais. I will be reading more!

A young lady comes to Elvis Cole for help, she is worried about her police partner Thurman. Crais explores the gang land underworld and dives into the tricky area of corrupt policing and blackmail. A great read, I read it in a day. Robert Crais really is a superb author whose simplistic, entertaining style makes reading a joy.

Elvis Cole, is just my kind of PI, he's funny and sarcastic. Robert Crais writes a very good story, and although this is only my second of his novels, I have thoroughly enjoyed them both and will be investing in the rest of the series.
The stories are never gory, but they are touching and the action is always dramatic. You become very fond of Elvis and his side-kick Joe Pike (the man of few words and the occasional lip twitch)
He writes in a similar way to Micheal Connely's 'Harry Bosch' series, but Crais has more humour.
I read this book in 2 sittings and I really enjoyed it. I recommend it to all PI fans and definately to Connelly fans.
