I had missed reading this book of Robert Crais' in some sort of order while reading through his Elvis Cole/Joe Pike books. I could tell it would be a good one and it didn't disappoint. I'm just sorry I had read another book that was written after this one and knew how it ended.
I highly recomment this as another great Elivis Cole/Joe Pike mystery.
