Elvis Cole and his enigmatic partner, Joe Pike, race to find a terrifying, unidentified killer in this twisting, unpredictable thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Robert Crais.
Traci Beller was thirteen when her father disappeared in the sleepy town of Rancha, not far from Los Angeles. The evidence says Tommy Beller abandoned his family, but Traci never believed it. Now, ten years later, Traci is a high-profile influencer with millions of followers and the money to hire the best detective she can find: Elvis Cole.
Elvis heads to Rancha where an ex-con named Sadie Givens and her daughter, Anya, might have a line on the missing man. But when Elvis finds himself shadowed by a gang of vicious criminals, the missing persons cold case becomes far more sinister.
Elvis calls his ex-Marine friend, Joe Pike, for help, and they follow Tommy Beller's trail into the depths of a monstrous, hidden evil. The case flips on its head, victims become predators, predators become prey, and the question becomes: Can Elvis Cole save them all from this nightmare?

Couldn’t put it down. All the clues were there…. Elvis Cole and Joe Pike at their best, don’t even get me started on the twists! THANK YOU.
I have read all 20 and continue to be amazed at how he continues to grow the characters. Made me want to find Surfmutt, just to see the setup and taste the food.
Predictable but the plot was interestingly developed. I could not put it down. I will definitely read more novels by this writer.
Filled with exciting twists and turns and believable characters who you come to care about. I couldn’t recommend this book more if you are looking for a great detective thriller that you can’t put down.
'The Big Empty' by Robert Crais is an excellent mystery thriller. Although it is not as good as Crais's earlier novels featuring Elvis Cole and Joe Pike, it is still a very worthwhile book. As usual, Crais gives us good dialogue, plots, and characters. As a writer of mystery novels myself, I admire the way Robert Crais crafts his books. If you enjoy reading mystery thrillers, you will like this novel.
