I'm new to Robert Crais's books, but after this, my second one, I confess I'm hooked. The writing is spare and clean, and the lead - in this instance, Joe Pike - is a superhero very much in the tradition of Lee Child's Jack Reacher. Plenty of action, complex plotting, and a charismatic protagonist add up to a good read, in my opinion.
