The day starts like any other in L.A. The sun burns hot as the Santa Ana winds blow ash from mountain fires to coat the glittering city. But for private investigator Joe Pike, the city will never be the same again. His ex-lover, Karen Garcia, is dead, brutally murdered with a gun shot to the head.Now Karen's powerful father calls on Pike (a former cop) and his partner, Elvis Cole, to keep an eye on the LAPD as they search for his daughter's killer--because in the luminous City of Angels, everyone has secrets, and even the mighty blue have something to hide. But what starts as a little procedural hand-holding turns into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse. For a dark web of conspiracy threatens to destroy Pike and Cole's twelve-year friendship--if not their lives. And L.A. just might be singing their dirge.

The best - so far - of the Elvis Cole novels.In the beginning there were so many similarities between Joe Pike and the serial killer, that at times even I wondered...This book really digs deeper into Pike's past; his childhood, why he left L.A.P.D, and what makes him the way he is. I gained a lot o...

4.5 starsDang!!! This is probably the BEST and my FAVORITE Elvis Cole book yet. Why? Because it digs deeper into Joe Pike's past; his childhood, why he left L.A.P.D, and the women in his past. Over the course of previous six books, Pike came as an enigmatic man with little words to say. Here, he fle...

2.0 L.A. Requiem (Elvis Cole Novels)
***Slow Page Turner Uff, finished at last... Not my favorite book for sure. It has some nice fast paced fragments, but only fragments. Overall, I don't recommend it to those who like page turners. This one isn't my cup of tea.
