Joe Pike and Elvis Cole join forces against the Serbian mafia. This follows the killing of a mercenary friend of theirs. The massacre killed his friends and family. To read but not his greatest. Rating: 4 / 5

So the highly anticipated first rule. A robot, the relevant history. Pike, super-acrobatic hero in a difficult situation without a scratch. N adrenaline. An expert billiards game, but missed signals Pike too. The reader is well ahead on certain issues. And it’s too easy. All these good friends from the army earlier in the provision of information in an incredibly precise moment a hat. Fold murderer Tough and bacon. Cole did not crack a single joke. And it is not within reach. Sigh. Rating: 3 / 5

I loved writing by Robert Crais. I think he writes very fluently and very interesting. When his characters, Elvis Cole and Joe Pike, are traveling the highways of Los Angeles where I am with them. Robert Crais is generally very introspective with its two main characters, more than any other author I have read. The only other book that does not really for me was Raincoat monkey, but I liked it better. I did not like that there is no humor in this story. Elvis is usually very humorous, sarcastic crack jokes very funny. There is also the character, John Chen, who is very funny, and his appearance in this novel was to limit a few sentences. I missed John Chen. But especially in this second novel about Joe Pike was so hard and so was the Elvis character. There was no laughter and no feelings and no internal reflections. I think Robert Crais was furious when he wrote this book. I know I do not know. But I hope his next book brings sensitivity and humor that makes his books such a joy to read. I just wanted to hurry to get up and leave. I gave it only three stars because in the end, Joe had feelings about the child and who has berührt.Ich I am sad to say that I really did not like this book very much. Rating: 3 / 5

I read all his books, Elvis Cole novels, and I like 2 pounds of Joe Pike. It does not disappoint. Rating: 5 / 5

It was a good read but far too fast, too. I was feeling short changed by the superficiality of the book, very predictable, low voltage to the end and it ends too quickly. It reads like a book which the publisher calls a time, Crais and delivered what we did and not what it should have. You feel much better to wait for the paperback, or better yet, check it out at the library. Rating: 3 / 5
