Joe Pike -- the ex-cop, ex-Marine, exmercenary from Robert Crais's superb PI Elvis Cole novels -- headlines the explosive action of this page-turning New York Times bestseller.

A wild-living young heiress slams into trouble in the L.A. night -- the kind of trouble even her money can't shut down. After her Aston Martin collides with a mysterious car, Larkin Conner Barkley attempts to help the accident victims -- and becomes the sole witness in a federal investigation. Whisking her out of her Beverly Hills world is Joe Pike, hired to shield Larkin Barkley from a relentless team of killers.

    Joe Pike has been a secondary character in the highly enjoyable Elvis Cole series of author Robert Crais. The series about ever wise-cracking Cole with support from the ever enigmatic Joe Pike has continued to get better and better. This book focuses on Pike and reveals much of his background. Pike is an old fashioned hero in a modern world. He wants to serve and protect those who are weaker and in need, going ever forward by his moral code, propelled by his own hellacious past.

    If I had never read of him in the Cole novels perhaps I would not have liked this quite as much, but I did and I do.
