I'm a fan of Robert Crais' books and have read most of his books. I was disappointed in this one because it was such a slow starter. The book I was reading was from the library and I almost took it back several times because it just wasn't grabbing me. There was too many characters and too much background building. Ho-hum. The last 1/4 of the book kept me reading, and the ending was predictable, but OK. Not really worth the time to read this one.

I was really disappointed. No sense of the geography of the Coachella Valley. Go read his earlier books before this one, they are better.

Unusual plot with a lot of clever and complicated twists and turns as Cole and Pike try to find a young couple swept up in a kidnapping of illegals by bloodthirsty cartel types near the border. Definite "can't put it down" story.

I've read everything Crais has written and enjoyed them all. Joe and Elvis are great characters and this book is about their adventures with human smuggling in SoCal.

Lots of people killled, but no Anglos, as far as I can tell, and certainly no one with a security clearance.
