Private Investigator, Elvis Cole, takes on a case to locate an ex-wife and son of a famous filmmaker. It takes him from his hometown of Los Angeles to Connecticut, where he quickly locates them. Major problems arise due to the ex-wife's profession, causing Cole to call in his partner, Joe Pike, for assistance.

Filling in the missing books of the Elvis Cole series brings me to #3. I enjoyed this one more so than #2. The quips were delivered with good timing and made me giggle. I could have done without a portion of the story line, because I'm simply just tired of that scenario, but it worked. Hopefully, #4 (providing I didn't read that one) will continue the series on the upswing. (3.75/5)

3rd book in the Elvis Cole series - another nice fast read, however, Elvis is far funnier when he is at home in LA, I guess the cold east coast just takes the humour right out of people ( )

Another Elvis Cole novel from Robert Crais; this one begins with Elvis being hired by a Peter Nelsen, sphincterish Hollywood mogul, to track down the young woman whom he had married and left, along with their son. Elvis finds her surprisingly easily, so there's obviously some complication coming. It turns out she's gained a responsible position in a Connecticut bank by laundering money for a New York crime family.

Elvis, and his loquacious partner Joe Pike, must try to extricate Karen from the mob before she can deal with Peter. The usual sorts of Elvis Cole shenanigans ensue, including smart-ass wit, clever deductions, and lots of gunfire. A quick and easy read that doesn't require much of a contribution from the reader.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553299514, Paperback)

Hollywood's newest wunderkind is Peter Alan Nelson, the brilliant, erratic director known as the King of Adventure.  His films make billions, but his manners make enemies.  What the boy king wants, he gets, and what Nelson wants is for Elvis to comb the country for the airhead wife and infant child the film-school flunkout dumped en route to becoming the third biggest filmmaker in America.  It's the kind of case Cole can handle in his sleep -- until it turns out to be a nightmare.  For when Cole finds Nelson's wife in a small Conneticut town, she's nothing like what he expects.  The lady has some unwanted -- and very nasty -- mob connections, which means Elvis could be opening the East Coast branch of his P.I. office . . .at the bottom of the Hudson River.
