This was a really enjoyable book to read. We learn more about Elvis's childhood and his time in Vietnam. His past comes back to haunt him when his girlfriend's son is kidnapped. Elvis is on the case with gusto and is soon embroiled with the bad guys in his efforts. Joe Pike of course is there to help him but Joe is still recovering from his injuries from the last Robert Crais outing.
Elvis's relationship with Lucy his girlfriend is pushed to the limits, not helped by the return of her ex-husband on the scene. A man who hates Elvis Cole. Elvis ingratiates himself with a policewoman and together they are able to push the case on.
I enjoyed the read but unfotunately I guessed the real reasons behind the kidnapping very early so the outcome was pretty much a known outcome for me. This is a pretty unusual occurrence for me as I usually wander round in a fog until the last few pages.
8/10 for me.
