The extraordinary new crime novel from the New York Times bestselling author.
"Joe Pike is a joy to watch, an urban Zen warrior-priest righting wrongs. More Pike, please." -Chicago Sun-Times
Dru Rayne and her uncle fled to L.A. after Hurricane Katrina; but now, five years later, they face a different danger. When Joe Pike witnesses Dru's uncle beaten by a protection gang, he offers his help, but neither of them want it-and neither do the federal agents mysteriously watching them.
As the level of violence escalates, and Pike himself becomes a target, he and Elvis Cole learn that Dru and her uncle are not who they seem- and that everything he thought he knew about them has been a lie. A vengeful and murderous force from their past is now catching up to them . . . and only Pike and Cole stand in the way.

Pre-order on my Kindle, too! As always, the wait is almost unbearable. Love the video, too. It's always fun to see Robert Crais talk about his "friends", Elvis & Joe.

Great to read the first three excerpts of RC's new novel - I will certainly be ordering my copy as soon as available here in the UK. However, I hope RC's next novel will bring us back to Elvis Cole where it all started in1987. As much as I enjoyed the last book (The First Rule), I would really appreciate a future novel that brings the reader back to Elvis and his unique take on private investigation in LA. - backed-up by his partner of course!
