Publisher Description

When a 15-year-old girl shows up to plead with Elvis to find her errant father, his first impulse is to hand the case over to Social Services. But he sees how hard the kid is working to keep her two siblings together and afloat. The father sounds like an angel; the case should be a cinch. But as Elvis investigates, he finds the dad seems to be a mover in the criminal underworld who is on the verge of a grand scheme. Could this be the right guy? As Elvis and sidekick Joe Pike try their hand at babysitting, events are set in motion that will pit them against a scary group of counterfeiters—and the even scarier U.S. Marshals.

"Great Elvis book. Lots of suspense and tension, but as always, Crais's backdrop to his story carries emotional weight. I think Crais has a lot to say about "important" topics, and uses his action/suspense stories to tell it. Crais continues to build his skill set - just getting better and better."

    " I'd heard a lot about this author, but never came across any of his books until this week. I think I finished it in 24 hrs - tight, fast but a little too much about the road network of LA. Greatly entertaining escapism for me - the kind of stuff I love. 4 star for me. "
