Okay, I'm still waaaaaaay behind schedule, and could have gone for a slimmer novel than this one, but as it turns out, this book took no time at all to read. It's got one of those covers that sticks to your fingers.It's the first of Crais's novels I've read, and I'm hooked. His main protagonist, Joe Pike, is so well painted that you feel like you're in the picture with him, outsmarting and catching bad guys. Pike has a tough shell and a gooey interior, but Crais never dissolves into saccharine to let you see it. You'll find out about Pike through his actions, and Crais is crafty about how he chooses them.
A great action read!
