About this ebook
Elvis Cole and Joe Pike are joined by Suspect heroes LAPD K-9 Officer Scott James and his German shepherd, Maggie, in this heart-stopping thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Robert Crais.
Elvis Cole and Joe Pike keep their promises. Even if it could get them killed...
Elvis Cole is hired to find a woman who’s disappeared, a seemingly ordinary case, until he learns the missing woman is an explosives expert and worked for a Defense Department contractor. Meanwhile, LAPD K-9 Officer Scott James and his patrol dog, Maggie, track a fugitive to a house filled with explosives—and a dead body. As the two cases intertwine, they all find themselves up against shadowy arms dealers and corrupt officials, and the very woman they promised to save may be the cause of their own deaths.

Very well done. All the Elvis Cole novels are great. Really 5 star, but I'm a huge John D. MacDonald fan and Mr. Craise isn't quite at that level of poignancy. Yet.

I like these books, but the whole gynocentric, bitches-do-wrong-but-we-should-make-exceptions-for-their-bad-behavior thing is wearing a little thin, don't you think, Mr. Crais? In your books, you put the useless creatures in leadership positions, you use tiresome prefixes like "Ms.," you call them "powerful" and "strong," etc., but you don't hold them accountable for their actions at all. So much for real, ACTUAL equality, fictional or not ...

This was another great Elvis Cole book. Pike was in it of course & also Jon played a bigger role than usual. Maggie the German Shepherd was the star of the show however! I'm a cat person but reading about her made me want to go out &:get a dog!!!
