THE LAST DETECTIVE

Robert Crais not only weaves an engaging thriller, his sentences are almost lyrical. It's no wonder James Daniels was chosen to perform this latest in the Elvis Cole series. His unusually emotive voice and sensitive style sweep the listener into Crais's story. In this one, Cole is in hot water again. It's not enough that his relationship with his girl is shaky; her son has been kidnapped from right under Cole's nose. As Cole and his partner, Joe Pike, search frantically for the youth, they begin to unravel a complex conspiracy. Daniels's delivery keeps listeners on the edge.
