“Elvis is awesome. It is that simple. For women, his sidekick, Joe Pike, is a misogynist to some, but damn funny. Robert Crais is truly one of a kind. All of his Elvis Cole novels are fun reads but not the trash one gets from pulp "writers" like James Patterson. I would rather read the airline magazines in the seatpocket in front of me than that crud. Yes, I do have an opinion. But trust me, a cyberstranger, read Robert Crais. - Shawn”

“I was expecting more from this first Elvis Cole novel: it has all the cliches of a detective story and is quite predictable.”
