Search - The Last Detective

This book was G-O-O-D!

Stunning, shrewdly written and sharply plotted....

Elvis Cole's relationship is already strained with his girlfriend who has recently moved with her 10 year old son from Baton Rouge to L.A. in order to be nearer Elvis. It become worse when her son is staying with Elvis while she is out of town on business. Ben, mysteriously disappears just minutes before she returns.
The kidnapper makes a call to Elvis with threats to punish him for past deeds which Elvis knows nothing about.
Many twists and turns involve international gorillas and Ben's natural father before the mystery is solved.

Robert Crais is my favorite mystery writer and "The Last Detective" didn't disapoint.

I love all of the Elvis Cole series and this was no exception!

A serious Elvis Cole novel full of kidnapping, Vietnam flashbacks, war crimes, family neglect and personal anguish.

What a page-turner! Great book, I just love detective books!

VERY GOOD!

It was almost impossible to put this book down. The characters' personal stress and the search for the kidnapper and missing child kept me in suspense from the very beginning. Crais knows how to involve the reader.

P.I. Elvis Cole's relationship with attorney Lucy Chenier is strained. But it becomes even more tense when the unthinkable happens. While Lucy is away on business and her ten-year-old son Ben is staying with Elvis, the boy vanishes without a trace. When the kidnappers call, it's not for ransom, but for a promise to punish Cole for past sins he claims he didn't commit. With the LAPD wrestling over the case, and the boy's estranged father attempting to take control of the investigation, Cole vows to find Ben first. But Cole's parter, Joe Pike, knows more about this case than he has said. Pike lives in a world where dangerous men commit crimes beyond all reckoning. Now, one of those men is alive and well in L.A.-and calling Elvis Cole to war...
An interesting and suspenseful read.

An Elvis Cole Novel.
