Publisher Description
Private investigators Joe Pike and Elvis Cole get double-crossed in this twisty, gripping New York Times bestseller that will have readers on the edge of their seats.
When gangbangers shake down the modest owner of a Los Angeles eatery, Joe Pike intervenes. For all intents and purposes, Pike saved Wilson Smith's life. But for reasons of their own, Smith and his lovely niece, Dru, are curiously resentful. It's only when Pike's feelings for the woman deepen that he and his partner, Elvis Cole, discover that Dru and her uncle are not at all who they seem, and everything Pike has learned about them is a lie. But it's much more than a deception. It's a trap. And with every new twist it's proving to be a killer.

"One of my favorite Elvis/Joe tales ever. A vengeful killer looks for lost people and his boss's lost money, but it's Joe Pike and Elvis who get there first. I think the thing I loved the most about this one was the fact Mr. Joe Pike gets fooled in a way I won't discuss. The big man makes a big error. Loved it, right down to the final page. RC writes the way I like to read -- short, fast, and with energy. I say again, this is one of RC's very best to date."

" Joe Pike, the one man army, in another crime thriller. This one involves a psychotic hit man and a Bolivian drug sting that goes badly wrong. High on body count but also good characterisations as Joe Pike and Elvis Cole solve this tough Californian mystery. "

" I've read all Books by Robert Crais and loved them. Joe Pike is a different kind of hero than Elvis Cole. I really like it, that he seems to be more human with every new story. But I think he'll never get the girl, poor guy. "
— Karin, 6/13/2012 -
" Robert Crais is one of the best... up there with Michael Connelly. Here he deepens Joe Pike's character without taking away Pike's force-of-nature appeal. Excellent writing with a fair amount of unexpected twists. "
— Ron, 6/2/2012 -
" Was a very quick read, but was more....mushy(?) than previous Pike/Cole novels. I didn't really like the direction the characters took in this book, but will still read future Crais works. "
— Dwight, 5/18/2012 -
" Fabulous! Will have to read more of this series "
— Sandi, 1/25/2012 -

— Fred, 12/7/2011 -
" I loved this book. Joe Pike is one of the most fascinating men in fiction today. I love him and Elvis together. The action never stops. "
— Barbara, 10/6/2011 -
" Too much testosterone for me. It's more of a guy book. Well-written and interesting, though. "
— Nancy, 8/29/2011 -
" Good to see Robert Crais still keeping Pike and Cole alive and kicking! "
— Trev, 4/30/2011 -
" Another book by Crais featuring his characters Joe Pike and Elvis Cole. Not as interesting as some of his others, but a good read with some twists and turns. "
