This Elvis outing was more plot than character driven, but was a good read during a rainy New England weekend. There's a depth of history to the players in this series by this point, but I prefer it when Mr. Crais develops the back stories of his characters more.

Elvis has to redeem himself in this book. That's often the underlying story line in many of titles of this series. This episode has him almost doubting his work and self worth by exposing a previously cleared suspect as the most probably murderer. Elvis works hard to find the truth, and a little bit more of himself while he's at it. His best friend Pike is definitely in the background in this outing, and his enigmatic past sometimes adds some spice to these novels.

I would recommend any of these Elvis Cole books, but I would suggest the reader tackle them in order to get the full benefits of the stories told.]]>
