| Plot Summary of L.A. Requiem |
|---|
"Elvis' friend and partner, Joe Pike, is suspected of several killings committed by an enemy obsessed with destroying Pike, yet he wants to be like Pike. The story is full of action and dry wit and those odd touches of poignancy that Robert Crais is so good at. The reader also gets to find out about Pike's mysterious past."
Andrea Miller, Resident Scholar
