LA Requiem is the third Elvis Cole/Joe Pike novel I've read and I seem to be going backwards, having started with The Forgotten Man and then The Last Detective. Crais isn't an author I embraced immediately as one of my favorites, but I can now say he is one of my ...

Terrific
I love all the Elvis Cole books that Robert Crais has written. He is one great guy. Mystery is always in the mix and he solves them very well. I'd like to have read them in sequence, but didn't get that order until after I'd read about 5 of his books.
Love his ...
