The first in the Joe Pike series, but really it is another in the excellent Elvis Cole/Joe Pike series, but this time highlighting Joe Pike.
Pike returns a favour by agreeing to protect a rich girl from South American drug lords let loose in Los Angeles. Cole of course helps him in this. The plot is well thought out and developed and we want to know what happens next. There is plenty of action, Crais writes about Pike in an exciting way even when he just taking cover in some bushes.
There is plenty of blood spilt in this one and Pike shows that he is capable of love too but falls for someone just as emotionally dysfunctional as he is.
I enjoyed this read tremendously.
9/10 for me.
