Elvis Cole and Joe Pike are joined by Suspect heroes LAPD K-9 Officer Scott James and his German shepherd, Maggie, in this heart-stopping thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Robert Crais.
Elvis Cole and Joe Pike keep their promises. Even if it could get them killed...
Elvis Cole is hired to find a woman who’s disappeared, a seemingly ordinary case, until he learns the missing woman is an explosives expert and worked for a Defense Department contractor. Meanwhile, LAPD K-9 Officer Scott James and his patrol dog, Maggie, track a fugitive to a house filled with explosives—and a dead body. As the two cases intertwine, they all find themselves up against shadowy arms dealers and corrupt officials, and the very woman they promised to save may be the cause of their own deaths.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Robert Crais’ 16th Elvis Cole caper is a treat that artfully gathers an all-star cast of the author’s most popular characters. Grizzled private detective Cole is joined by ex-Marine Joe Pike, mercenary Jon Stone, and Maggie—a German shepherd police dog and the novel’s true star—to investigate a missing-person case. As the crew uncovers the crime’s connection to a suspect energy firm and a formidable terrorism group, the plot thickens. Whip-smart, lightning-paced chapters narrated from different characters’ perspectives build relentlessly to a startling climax.
