Robert Crais is coming to Dayton!
Robert Crais is one of my all time favorite crime writers. I have been reading his books practically from the beginning of his career and his stuff just keeps getting better. And darker. Very dark.
Crais sets his novels in Los Angeles. The next book, The First Rule (Putnam), is his second stand alone thriller featuring Joe Pike as the lead character. Pike is Elvis Cole’s partner in a detective agency. Cole has been the main character in most of Bob’s books. Where Elvis can be a jokester and almost light hearted, Joe Pike is dark. Very dark.
Pike is a former LA cop. He is also a former mercenary. You don’t want him to be angry with you. Joe Pike is a killing machine.
I just finished the next book last night. Wow! I could not go to bed until I had turned the last page. Incredible.
The book comes out in January and Robert Crais is coming through Dayton on book tour. Joe Pike is a force. If you love crime fiction check this one out.

Woo Hoo! Crais is definitely someone I always read, and would come out to see/get a book signed.
