But nailing the murderer means choosing between the two people he cares most about...

Robert Crais just got better with this novel. I found myself thinking that he really has come to the fore, and presented his masterful craft at the next level. I was sucked deep into the crevasse of the world of Elvis Cole and Joe Pike to the extent that I finished the book in 3 sessions. An absolute rippa of a read!

The fantastic backstory makes the primary story seem boring in comparison. I actually slightly hated it as it comes between you and the amazing and inspirational backstory.

Had me the whole way! Lots going on but not too messy or confusing. A drip feed plot that made it hard to put down.
