Pike clipped his .357 to his waist, and went to his Jeep. Sometimes Pike enjoyed silence. Sometimes the silence scared him. There's nothing like a riveting scene to start off a Thriller, right? So naturally, Robert Crais starts this Joe Pike novel with Pike waiting in line to make a deposit at his b...

It you add this piece of information to the fact that he was a writer for some early 80's made for TV series (Hill Street blues, Cagney and Lacy) then y...
A single mom has worries about the way that her teen-aged son is behaving -- and when you add in flashy clothes, a Rolex, and more money in his pocket than most book bloggers have in their checking account. So, she hires Elvis to figure out what the bad news is. It takes The World's Fastest Detect...

A smart-aleck gauntleting detective with a mean-as-hell friend is something that I can’t get enough...
Really good book. I liked how the author wrote from the dog's perception also. The bad guys were pretty easily figured out but it was still a really good book.
If a professional thief pretends to be a terrorist does that mean they blow all of their money in a public place?Well, Elvis Cole would have found that funny. Bite me.Elvis Cole and Joe Pike are back and this time they have been hired to investigate a missing person. Somehow that missing person lead...
3.5 starsHmm ... in the beginning I was really, truly excited with the idea of Cole/Pike teaming up with Scott/Maggie (from Suspect, which I loved tremendously). Unfortunately, I couldn't really say that I loved the end result. The thing is, it seems that Crais now likes to have multiple perspective...
