L.A. Requiem
“Terrific entertainment . . . A powerful portrait of Los Angeles in our time: swift, colorful, gripping, a real knockout.”—Dean Koontz
The day starts like any other in L.A. The sun burns hot as the Santa Ana winds blow ash from mountain fires to coat the glittering city. But for private investigator Joe Pike, the city will never be the same again. His ex-lover, Karen Garcia, is dead, brutally murdered with a gun shot to the head.
Now Karen's powerful father calls on Pike (a former cop) and his partner, Elvis Cole, to keep an eye on the LAPD as they search for his daughter's killer--because in the luminous City of Angels, everyone has secrets, and even the mighty blue have something to hide. But what starts as a little procedural hand-holding turns into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse. For a dark web of conspiracy threatens to destroy Pike and Cole's twelve-year friendship—if not their lives. And L.A. just might be singing their dirge.

Best read in a while! Couldn’t stop reading. Thank you!

Twists and turns, like the roads through the Santa Monica mountains. LA Requiem is a read and a half. Elvis Cole is funny and an extremely insightful detective, not afraid to do the right thing. Joe Pike is unflappably determined. An excellent read….now onto the next Elvis adventure. Thanks, Mr Crais.

5 Stars. Definitely the best Cole and Pike book so far. One of the best books I’ve read, period. The were beaten down and almost destroyed. I’m not sure what they will look like in the next one. There’s still unfinished business but I’m not sure how Crais will handle it. Wow. What a book. What characters. What a series.
