If there’s a better dynamic duo than Elvis Cole and Joe Pike in all of crime fiction, I’m not aware of it.” -David Baldacci “I devoured Robert Crais‘s Racing the Light, starring his iconic duo PI Elvis Cole and ex-cop Joe Pike. This time, Cole and Pike search for a missing son at the behest of the boy’s mother, and Racing the Light packs plenty of twists and turns to keep the pages turning.

Crais does the impossible in this thriller: moves the story at a breakneck pace while creating characters you absolutely adore.” -Lisa Scottoline, author of What Happened to the Bennetts “Elvis and Joe return in Racing the Light, a novel as deeply human as it is compelling.
