Chasing Darkness: An Elvis Cole Novel by Robert Crais
Chasing Darkness will further advance Robert Crais’s stature as one of the finer crime fiction writers of our time–and of his Elvis Cole/Joe Pike series as one of the more fascinating private eye series. How Crais has filled in the blanks of this series’ characters as more and more books are added to it, particularly the evolution of Cole from an ever-cocky to a more humble, fuller person, is rich subject matter for the student of crime fiction.


I really need to catch up on Robert Crais’ work. I’ve read his earlier stuff and a stand-alone novel – but I haven’t read any of his newer Cole novels – the last of which I read, Lullaby Town, wasn’t very good – average at best.
