Sunset Express by Robert Crais
#1132 in our old book database. Not rated.
I really love Robert Crais. One of the few authors I would gladly read several novels a year. Cole and Pike are the best mystery team duo out there right now. Quick read but you will live the ride.
I liked the Joe Pike book a lot more than I thought I would. Nice change of pace from an Elvis Cole stand alone. Looking forward to the next one.
A lightweight read with too much detail on navigating the streets of Los Angeles. Good to read when you are trying to concentrate on other things in your life.
