Title: A thrilling, gripping detective story!
Review: Elvis Cole is a private detective. He has a past--and until now, it's been a mystery. But someone is dragging Cole through his own dirt, and revealing the skeletons in his closet.Cole's girlfriend's son, Ben, has just been kidnapped. Whoever did it is a professional...he is used to stalking humans, and is NOT one for failure. Cole, along with his silent-but-deadly partner/friend Joe Pike, is about to enter a world where no one can be trusted, where danger lurks around every corner...and where hope may only be an illusion.Robert Crais is a great writer. Though he has written other novels with different characters (Carol Starkey, who appeared in his novel DEMOLITION ANGEL, plays a role here), his best have always been his Elvis Cole mysteries. An engaging and multi-leveled character, Elvis Cole is often overlooked in today's reading world...but shouldn't be. And neither should Crais. THE LAST DETECTIVE is a great, thrilling read by a great, engaging author.
