About this ebook
In this short piece, Robert Crais brings us into the world of quirky and likable Los Angeles PI Elvis Cole and his friend Joe Pike, a survivor and an enigmatic man of few words. The discussion revolves around the choices they’ve made, the obstacles they’ve overcome, the things that drive them to be who they are, and the hope that keeps them persevering through the darkness. It’s a fresh look at this “superb series” (Kirkus Reviews), and a fascinating visit with its “whip-smart” author (Booklist), who has also written for such television classics as Cagney and Lacey and Hill Street Blues.

Elvis Cole and Joe Pike
Elvis Cole and Joe Pike are twenty years old as I write this. Now 2007, they came to life in my first published novel, The Monkey’s Raincoat, in 1987. Twenty years is a long time.
