Racing the Light an Elvis Cole and Joe Pike novel by Robert Crais
LA based private investigator Elvis Cole takes on a seemingly innocuous missing person case in the nineteenth novel in the Cole/Pike series by Robert Crais.
Mrs. Schumacher asks Elvis to find her adult son, Josh, a controversial, small-time podcaster. Mrs. Schumacher appears ordinary enough, but she carries around a mountain of cash and is accompanied by sophisticated bodyguards. Soon Elvis realizes that someone else is looking for Josh too, and their intentions do not include bringing him home to mama! Calling in the enigmatic Pike, the two detectives uncover shady real estate deals, government malfeasance, and murder.
A fast read with Crais’ trademark blend of humor and suspense.
