![Chasing Darkness [Elvis Cole Novel] - Picture 1 of 1](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/pIwAAOSwKm9f~Y-V/s-l500.jpg)
One of my favorite suspense novelists, Robert Crais' LA detectives, quirky Elvis Cole and stoic Joe Pike, consistently deliver the finest in contemporary sleuthing. I have been a fan ever since "Monkey's Raincoat," Crais' first novel. There is no more engaging, entertaining or compelling working mystery writer that I am aware of. Dan Brown's Robert Langdon books are similarly satisfying, but fall in a different genre, focusing on the historical, the cultural, and the conspiratorial rather than the contemporaneous. Chasing Darkness delivers thrills with aplomb. I first enjoyed this novel in 2008 when it was published. Now that I own an autographed copy, I will enjoy it even more the second time around.

Elvis Cole and Joe Pike are, again, the good guys fighting evil. In their quest you can bet that someone at LAPD is gonna hate 'em. In this, #13 with them in it, things are no different. So, you might say they have to fight their battle on two fronts: against misguided good guys and bad guys. When it comes to crime novels there are no better writers than Robert Crais (not necessarily "the best", but certainly there are none "better").

Chasing Darkness was an exciting story with twists and turns at the right moments with the main character, Elvis Cole(P.I.) haunted by the possibility that he may have been responsible for getting a murder charge dropped against a "guilty" client, investigates to find the truth which takes him through harrowing experiences with the police, angry people and dangerous suspects. It has the right balance of action and thought processes. It is suspenseful because the reader doesn't know anymore than the main character. If you like Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch stories, you'll enjoy this book.
Brilliant novel!!! Every Elvis Cole novel is better than the last!
