A Dangerous Man: 18 (An Elvis Cole and Joe Pike Novel) - Hardcover

Praise for A Dangerous Man

"Crais unspools this tense and involving saga...with dashes of wit, lots of local color, many bursts of sudden action and some 300 pages of relentless suspense."--The Wall Street Journal

"[Crais is] an enlightened crime writer."--The New York Times Book Review

"Suspenseful, fast-paced, tightly written and peopled with compelling characters...One of Crais's best."--Associated Press

"Crais excels at penning tales crammed with as much style as substance. And A Dangerous Man is another in a long string of sumptuous mysteries that deliver the goods while exceeding our expectations. Not to be missed."--Providence Journal

"A muscular thriller....Cole and Pike make a terrific pair."--Seattle Times

"Pike is about as tough and unflappable as they come. . . Once it starts, the action doesn't stop."--Readers Digest (One of the "Best Thrillers of 2019")

"If you've always wished Lee Child's Jack Reacher had a little more balance in his life--but the same formidable talents--you'll love Joe Pike and the latest book in this long, superb series....A taut, exceptional thriller."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Crais is a whip-smart writer. Cole and Pike are carefully drawn, multilayered characters who've grown more complex through the years. This is one of the very best entries in a long-running and still first-rate series."--Booklist (starred review)

"Outstanding...Crais begins the story with deceptive simplicity but slowly ratchets up both the tension and the action with surgical precision....The particular kind of danger [Joe Pike] carries is just plain off the charts. This one's sure to hit the bestseller charts."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

A brilliant new crime novel from the beloved, bestselling, and award-winning master of the genre--and Joe Pike's most perilous case to date.

Joe Pike didn't expect to rescue a woman that day. He went to the bank same as anyone goes to the bank, and returned to his Jeep. So when Isabel Roland, the lonely young teller who helped him, steps out of the bank on her way to lunch, Joe is on hand when two men abduct her. Joe chases them down, and the two men are arrested. But instead of putting the drama to bed, the arrests are only the beginning of the trouble for Joe and Izzy.

After posting bail, the two abductors are murdered and Izzy disappears. Pike calls on his friend, Elvis Cole, to help learn the truth. What Elvis uncovers is a twisted family story that involves corporate whistleblowing, huge amounts of cash, the Witness Relocation Program, and a long line of lies. But what of all that did Izzy know? Is she a perpetrator or a victim? And how far will Joe go to find out?
