Description
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?

4By Battery223Classic Elvis and Joe burning through the bad guys. Crais keeps writing good novels. Looking forward to the next one.Gripping, brutal, riviting.
5By KatybensThis book had me on page 1! Couldn’t put it down. The story goes in different directions with one common thread!Good, If Not His Best
4By RJSam77Crais is still the best out there, taking over for Robert Parker, but this book wasn’t quite as fun or engrossing as his other books. It was more predictable than most of his books, somewhat more difficult to suspend disbelief about a few of the plot twists. Still a good read, just not at the usual Crais level of brilliance.Great Read

5By no teleportingLoved this book. Best I’ve read in a while. I’ve missed a. Purple of the Craig’s books so going back to catch up. He writes exactly how I like to keep my interest and be entertained.The Big Empty
5By The Eyes of MarchI enjoy how Crais moves his stories a long at a pace that makes the reader want to keep turning the page. Sidekick Pike peeks through as the plot thickens just enough making the reader want more. Very entertaining and engaging book. I want to read more.Amazing, as always
5By P More 22Fantastic. Elvis delivers.
