(starred review) DESPERATE MEN ARE DANGEROUS . . . Joe Pike wasn't
looking to save someone's life on the day he left the bank. But
when he saw Isabel, a young teller, being forced into a car by two
men, he had no choice but to chase them down. Not long after being
released on bail, the men are found dead and Isabel is missing.
After his handling of the men, Pike is a prime suspect, along with
Izzy - was this an abduction gone wrong? Or did it go exactly how
she planned? Convinced that her life is in danger, Pike involves
Elvis Cole in a search for the truth, and for Izzy. But they're not
the only ones desperate to find her - and desperate men are
dangerous. As explosive as Michael Connelly and as addictive as Lee
Child, A Dangerous Man has 'the smoothest writing and best
storytelling you'll ever read' (DAVID BALDACCI) *THE NEW COLE AND
PIKE THRILLER* Why Crais is the King of Crime . . .'Bob is like a
Porsche when it comes to writing. Indeed, it's quite fitting that
he drives that model of car. Like the Porsche, his writing is
elegant, stylish, funny, can fire on turbos when need be and dive
deep when the plot demands it, but this is far and away some of the
smoothest writing and best storytelling you'll ever read. He's
written a lot of books, but just keeps getting better and better'
DAVID BALDACCI '[Crais] expertly delivers his customary modern-day
riff on the 1940s hardboiled idiom' Guardian 'Outstanding . . .
Crais begins the story with deceptive simplicity but slowly
ratchets up both the tension and the action with surgical precision
. . . This one's sure to hit the bestseller charts' Publishers
Weekly (starred review) 'Another rewarding page-turner by one of
the most reliable storytellers in modern crime fiction' Daily Mail
'Crais is a whip-smart writer. Cole and Pike are carefully drawn,
multilayered characters who've grown more complex through the
years. This is one of the very best entries in a long-running and
still first-rate series' Booklist on A Dangerous Man (starred
review) 'Cleverly plotted, stylishly written' Washington Post 'If
you've always wished Lee Child's Jack Reacher had a little more
balance in his life - but the same formidable talents - you'll love
Joe Pike and the latest book in this long, superb series . . .
Crais never loses control of his clean, clear prose or his ability
to sketch fully fleshed characters in a few scenes . . . A taut,
exceptional thriller' Kirkus on A Dangerous Man (starred review)

A wild-living young heiress slams into trouble in the L.A.
night--the kind of trouble even her money can't shut down. After
her Aston Martin collides with a mysterious car, Larkin Conner
Barkley attempts to help the accident victims--and becomes the sole
witness in a federal investigation. Whisking her out of her Beverly
Hills world is Joe Pike--ex-cop, ex-Marine, ex-mercenary--hired to
shield Larkin from a relentless team of killers. But when a chain
of lies and betrayals tightens around them, Pike drops off the grid
and follows his own rules for survival: strike fast, hit hard, hunt
down the hunters. . . .
The second blistering Elvis Cole novel from the bestselling author
of RACING THE LIGHT 'Brilliant... read this, then read all his
others' Mirror Bradley Warren had lost something very valuable,
something that belonged to someone else: a rare thirteenth-century
Japanese manuscript called the Hagakure. Everything PI Elvis Cole
knew about Japanese culture he'd learned from reading SHOGUN, but
he knew a lot of crooks - and what he didn't know, his sidekick Joe
Pike did. Together, Cole and Pike begin their search in L.A.'s
Little Tokyo, the nest of the notorious Japanese mafia, the Yakuza
- and find themselves caught up in a white-knuckled adventure
filled with madness, murder and sexual obsession. Just another
day's work for Elvis Cole...
'Excellent' THE TIMES 'Crais's thrilling narrative oozes suspense.
There are twists to keep you guessing' OBSERVER Two minutes can be
a lifetime. But break the two minute rule and it's a lifetime in
jail. Ask anyone on the wrong side of the law about the two minute
rule and they'll tell you that's as long as you can hope for at a
robbery before the cops show up. But not everyone plays by the
rules. When an aging ex-con finally gets out of jail, freedom
doesn't taste too sweet. His son is gunned down in a drive-by
shooting. It seems like a random crime, but when the victim is a
cop - especially a cop with a con for a father - the motives are
never simple. When the hit is exposed as a revenge killing, and the
question of police corruption is raised, it becomes a father's last
duty to clear his son's name and catch the killer.
Elvis Cole is caught up in a high-profile murder case - and between
the cops and the lawyers, it's going to be a rough ride... On his
own turf in L.A., PI Elvis Cole is embroiled in a controversial,
high-profile murder case. A wealthy restaurateur is accused of
murdering his wife, and his hot-shot defence lawyer hires Cole to
find proof that the detective on the case, Angela Rossi, fooled
around with the evidence. Yet as Elvis investigates Rossi for the
defence team, he begins to be more suspicious of the media-loving
lawyers than the cops. And as the investigation continues, Cole is
drawn deeper and deeper into the intrigue and dangers surrounding
the case of the missing woman.
Private investigators Joe Pike and Elvis Cole get double-crossed in
this twisty, gripping New York Times bestseller that will have
readers on the edge of their seats. When gangbangers shake down the
modest owner of a Los Angeles eatery, Joe Pike intervenes. For all
intents and purposes, Pike saved Wilson Smith's life. But for
reasons of their own, Smith and his lovely niece, Dru, are
curiously resentful. It's only when Pike's feelings for the woman
deepen that he and his partner, Elvis Cole, discover that Dru and
her uncle are not at all who they seem, and everything Pike has
learned about them is a lie. But it's much more than a deception.
It's a trap. And with every new twist it's proving to be a killer.
Locke & Key tells of Keyhouse, an unlikely New England mansion,
with fantastic doors that transform all who dare to walk through
them, and home to a hate-filled and relentless creature that will
not rest until it forces open the most terrible door of them all!
Acclaimed suspense novelist and New York Times best-selling author
Joe Hill (Heart-Shaped Box) creates an all-new story of dark
fantasy and wonder, with astounding artwork from Gabriel Rodriguez.
