Publisher Description
The search for a missing girl leads private investigators Elvis Cole and Joe Pike into the nightmarish world of human trafficking in this #1 New York Times bestseller from Robert Crais.
When Nita Morales hires Elvis Cole to find her missing daughter, she's sure it's a ruse orchestrated by the girl and her boyfriend. She's wrong. They've been taken by bajadores—border bandits who prey on the innocent by buying, selling, and disposing of victims like commodities.
Cole and Joe Pike start an undercover investigation to find the couple, but their plan derails when Cole disappears, leaving Pike to burn through the murderous world of human traffickers to find his friend as well as the missing young people. But he may already be too late...
Customer Reviews
Different But Just as Good
4.5 Stars. I wasn’t sure at first. It was different and I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it as I had the rest. I wasn’t sure wrong. It was Crais, Pike and Cole, almost perfect this time but still great. Stone was also a great addition.
Human Trafficking is a horrible thing. The Cole’s clients were really in the wrong place at the wrong time. The hunt for them was incredible. Craig’s was different here, and it turned out well for the reader. The next one will be on the shelf very soon.
Top of his game
Waited anxiously for this latest in the series. Got it delivered to my iPad and finished it in 2 hours - a great read - as expected, All of the requisite action is there; Elvis' sleuthing and humor, Pike's directness and violence, and loved the addition of Stone (could this be a new series). The plot twists and turns coupled with the timeliness of the plot line kept me glued to my seat and screen. The villains were as evil and cruel as one would need for the offset by the avenging nature of our heroes. All in all a very satisfying story.
Have read all of the novels and was not in any way disappointed by Taken. I highly recommend it.
This is a thriller as good as it gets
I love Robert Crais. His novels are reliably entertaining, and Taken may be his best. It was a pleasure to read. I wish his book tour came to Florida!
