Joe Pike and Elvis Cole join forces against the Serbian mafia. This follows the killing of a mercenary friend of theirs. The massacre killed friends and family. To read, but not its largest. Rating: 4 / 5
So the long awaited first rule. A robot, competent storytelling. PIKE aerobatics in a super-hero of the most difficult situation without a scratch. N adrenaline. A game of billiards expert, but Pike lack of benchmarks. The player is far ahead on certain subjects. And it’s too easy. All these good friends of former Army hardly in providing accurate information at the drop of a hat. Hard times and killer fat. Cole did not crack a joke. And do not leave us in the result. Sigh. Rating: 3 / 5
I used to love Robert Crais and always waited for his books, but they seem less and less interesting. I found the character Joe Pike is very thin and dull and not very realistic. The first rule, I would buy, but I was waiting for him from the library. This is not a good read. I hope Crais soon began to create a good job. Unfortunately, I recommend that you do not bother to buy this book. Rating: 1 / 5
I just loved writing, Robert Crais. I think he writes very fluid and interesting. When his characters, Elvis Cole and Joe Pike, are traveling the highways of Los Angeles, I’m right there with them. Robert Crais is generally introspective, with its two main characters, more than any other author I have read. The only book that did not really different for me was the Monkey’s Raincoat, but I liked him better than this. I like that there is no humor in this story. Elvis is often very humorous, sarcastic jokes are very funny. There is also the character, John Chen, who is very funny, and his appearance in this novel has been limited to a few sentences. I missed John Chen. But in this second novel about Joe Pike was so hard and so was the Elvis character. There was no laughter, no feelings or inner thoughts. I think Robert Crais was furious when he wrote this book. I just know I do not know. But I hope his next book brings sensitivity and humor, makes his books such a joy to read. I just wanted to finish quickly. I have three stars, because in the end, Joe had been some feelings about the child and touchait.Je I’m sad to say that I really do not like this book very much. Rating: 3 / 5
I have all his books, novels, and Elvis Cole 2 pounds I like Joe Pike. It’s not disappoint them. Rating: 5 / 5
