Novel by Robert Crais, 2019
I like to read “junk books” like this. Crais’ protagonists are Elvis Cole, a private investigator and his friend, Joe Pike, a sometime mercenary and compassionate tough guy. I like Crais and Connelly because their books are well crafted, have good characters and plots, and are set in Los Angeles.
This book is great. I saved it to read over labor day weekend, then blasted through it within 24 hours. Elvis and Joe save a young woman, whose now-dead parents were in the witness protection program, from being tortured to find the money they stole.
