This is the second Elvis Cole that I have read. I quite enjoyed the first one (The Monkey's Raincoat) but I read it when I had just been made redundant and I associated it with bad times.
This novel also features the Private Detective from Los Angeles and I enjoyed reading this very much and I am already started on the third novel in the series.
In this one, Stalking the Angel, Elvis is hired by a very rich man to find the culprits of a stolen Japanese book that is very valuable. Elvis Cole uncovers a sad family history and gets involved with the Japanese version of the Mafia. The book has the usual Robert Crais touches of humour in the way that Elvis Cole speaks. However, I did notice that the wisecracks become less frequent as the novel becomes deeper and darker.
I would give this novel an 8/10
