With his acclaimed bestsellers, Hostage (a New York Times Notable Book) 
and Demolition Angel, Robert Crais drew raves for his unstoppable pacing, 
edgy characterizations, and cinematic prose. Now, in The Last Detective, 
Crais returns to his signature character, Los Angeles private investigator 
Elvis Cole, in a masterful page-turner that probes the meaning of family 
and the burdens of the past.

Elvis Cole's relationship with attorney Lucy Chenier is strained. When 
she moved from Louisiana to join Elvis in Los Angeles, she never dreamed 
that violence would so easily touch her life -- but then the unthinkable 
happens. While Lucy is away on business and her ten-year-old son, Ben, 
is staying with Elvis, Ben disappears without a trace. Desperate to 
believe that the boy has run away, evidence soon mounts to suggest a 
much darker scenario.

Joining forces with his enigmatic partner, Joe Pike, Elvis frantically 
searches for Ben with the help of LAPD Detective Carol Starkey, as Lucy's 
wealthy, oil-industry ex-husband attempts to wrest control of the investigation-
-
. Amid the maelstrom of personal conflicts, Elvis and Joe are forced 
to consider a more troubling lead -- one indicating that Ben's disappearance 
is connected to a terrible, long-held secret from Elvis Cole's past.

Venturing deep inside a complex psyche, Crais explores Elvis's need 
for family - the military that embraced him during a troubled adolescence, 
his rock-solid partnership with Pike, and his floundering relationship 
with Lucy - as they race the clock in their search for Ben. The Last 
Detective is Robert Crais' richest, most intense tale of suspense yet.--
