Joe Pike and his partner Elvis Cole must solve the murder of an old friend and his entire family in this gripping thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Robert Crais.

When Frank Meyer and his family are executed during a home invasion, the police begin investigating the secret life they're sure Meyer had. Joe Pike's on a hunt of his own: to clear his friend's name, and to punish the people who murdered him. What starts out as a simple trail gets twisted fast by old grudges, double crosses, blood vengeance, and a crime so terrible even Pike and his partner Elvis Cole have no way to measure it.

Wonderful!

Unlike many of Robert Crais later books where Elvis Cole holds the main role, and Joe Pike plays a secondary role, this book puts Joe Pike in the staring role, with assistance from Cole.Lots of excellent information about Pike’s previous life and what made him who he is - fascinating! Brilliant!!The plot has everything - starting with the murder of one of Pike’s former team along with his wife and 2 young sons. Intricate plot is centered on Pike’s determination to get revenge on the man (or men) responsible for the murders, which involves figuring out who ordered the murders and why. Then teasing out the truth from tons of lies, carefully tracking the murders down … and making them pay.The whole book is superb! Intricate plot, amazing analytical detective work. Many books with complex plots like this tend to get confusing, but not this one. Easy to follow. Lots of wisdom. Enjoy!

Pike

Another excellent book by Robert Craig. I love the way Cole and Pike work together to always get the job done. Getting ready to start the next book in the series.
