ROBERT CRAIS: REVIEWS - CHASING DARKNESS

CHASING DARKNESS
CRITICAL RAVES FROM AROUND THE WORLD!

"For months now, "Chasing Darkness," the 12th novel by Robert Crais to feature Los Angeles private investigator Elvis Cole, has been generating lots of anticipatory buzz among fans (some of whom have organized themselves into an online group called the Craisies). What is it about the Elvis Cole books -- whose first volume, "The Monkey's Raincoat," was published 21 years ago -- that keeps readers wanting more?

The answer lies in a shrewd mixture of consistency and novelty. As is the case with many a classic detective, there are things about Cole that never change. For years, he's lived alone in a hillside A-frame off Mulholland Drive, where he practices taekwondo and watches red-tailed hawks from his deck. He's fond of a stray black cat that bites his visitors and drinks his beer."
