Praise for A Dangerous Man “Crais unspools this tense and involving saga...with dashes of wit, lots of local color, many bursts of sudden action and some 300 pages of relentless suspense.”— The Wall Street Journal “[Crais is] an enlightened crime writer.”— The New York Times Book Review “Suspenseful; fast-paced, tightly written and peopled with compelling characters...One of Crais’s best.”— Associated Press 'Crais excels at penning tales crammed with as much style as substance. And A Dangerous Man is another in a long string of sumptuous mysteries that deliver the goods while exceeding our expectations. Not to be missed.' --Providence Journal “A muscular thriller....Cole and Pike make a terrific pair.”— Seattle Times “Pike is about as tough and unflappable as they come. . . Once it starts, the action doesn’t stop.”-- Readers Digest (One of the 'Best Thrillers of 2019') “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....A taut, exceptional thriller.”— Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “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 (starred review) “Outstanding...Crais begins the story with deceptive simplicity but slowly ratchets up both the tension and the action with surgical precision....The particular kind of danger [Joe Pike] carries is just plain off the charts.

It’s fire season, and the hills of Los Angeles are burning. When police and fire department personnel rush door to door in a frenzied evacuation effort, they discover the week-old corpse of an apparent suicide,in his lap a photo album of seven brutally murdered young women. And when the suicide victim is identified as a former suspect in one of the murders, the news turns Elvis Cole’s world upside down. Three years earlier Lionel Byrd was brought to trial for the murder of a female prostitute named Yvonne Bennett. A taped confession coerced by the police inspired a prominent defense attorney to take Byrd’s case, and Elvis Cole was hired to investigate. It was Cole’s eleventh-hour discovery of an exculpatory videotape that allowed Lionel Byrd to walk free. But the discovery of the death album in Byrd’s lap now brands Elvis as an unwitting accomplice to murder. Captured in photographs that could only have been taken by the murderer, Yvonne Bennett was the fifth of the seven victims – two more young women were murdered after Lionel Byrd walked free. So Elvis can’t help but wonder – did he, Elvis Cole, cost two more young women their lives? Elvis Cole and Joe Pike desperately fight to uncover the truth about Lionel Byrd and his nightmare album of death – a truth hidden by lies, politics, and corruption in a world where nothing is what it seems to be. Hardcover, Label: World Pubns, World Pubns, Product group: Book, Published: 2008-07-01, Studio: World Pubns, Sales rank: 7856598.
