Together their search begins in LA's Little Tokyo and the nest of the notorious Japanese mafia, the yakuza, and leads to a white-knuckled adventure filled with madness, murder and sexual obsession - just another day's work for Elvis Cole.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[An early Elvis Cole novel.  Lots of twists and turns and a couple of very intense action scenes.  Overall there were some weak points, but a good read in general.  I'm probably going to try and read the entire Cole/Pike series.  I guess I'm just a sucker for a detective novel.]]></body>
