Crais is every bit as good as the classic noir writers. Yes, as good as Chandler and Hammett. If you like your mysteries blended with some memorable prose this is the guy for you.

Definitely did not expect this book's plot to unfold the way it did. Great storytelling with everything neatly wrapped up at the end.

A good page-turner with some surprising twists that you don't see coming. Once I started I couldn't put it down.

P.I. Elvis Cole has never known his father. So when he is told by police that a murder victim's last words were that he is his father, he naturally starts investigating. The more clues Cole discovers, the more he becomes convinced that the murdered man is not related to him. But why would he say, how would he know that Cole has been searching for his father all his life?

Someone else is also looking for the victim, who apparently disappeared a few days before his death without letting anyone know. That person is on a collision course with Cole.

I really liked this book: good story, well-drawn characters. It kept me guessing until the end.

Great bonus with this book- it is an authentic autographed copy and, as usual, another excellent outing by Robert Crais and the World's Greatest Detective, Elvis Cole.
