The Promise
The Promise: An Elvis Cole and Joe Pike Novel | Robert Crais
8 posts | 15 read | 3 to read
Elvis Cole and Joe Pike are joined by Suspect heroes LAPD K-9 Officer Scott James and his German shepherd, Maggie, in the new heart-stopping thriller from #1 New York Times-bestselling author Robert Crais. Loyalty, commitment, and the fight for justice have always driven Elvis Cole and Joe Pike. If they make a promise, they keep it. Even if it could get them killed. When Elvis Cole is secretly hired to find a grief-stricken mother, he's led to an ordinary house on a rainy night in Echo Park. Only the house isn't ordinary, and the people hiding inside are a desperate fugitive and a murderous criminal with his own dangerous secrets. As helicopters swirl overhead, Scott and Maggie track the fugitive to this same house, coming face-to-face with Mr. Rollins, a killer who leaves behind a brutally murdered body and enough explosives to destroy the neighborhood. Scott is now the only person who can identify him, but Mr. Rollins has a rule: Never leave a witness alive. For all of them, the night is only beginning. Sworn to secrecy by his client, Elvis finds himself targeted by the police even as Mr. Rollins targets Maggie and Scott. As Mr. Rollins closes in for the kill, Elvis and Joe join forces with Scott and Maggie to follow a trail of lies where no one is who they claim -- and the very woman they promised to save might get them all killed. From the Hardcover edition.

This was good. It‘s a lot of testosterone, maybe darker than much of what I prefer in a mystery, but what brought the rating up a bit for me was Scott and Maggie. I love their relationship! I also like that we are given the same scene from a few different perspectives. This is only the second book that follows Scott and Maggie. It‘s too bad there aren‘t more.

Didn't get to finish it last night so I finished it at work. Pouring rain most of the day made work slow.

Wish there were more books in this series. I liked the first book in this series best though.
⭐⭐⭐⭐

As always, I loved Elvis Cole. Nowhere near enough of Joe Pike in this one. But we DID get reacquainted with Scott James and Maggie, and we DID get to meet oh – so – interesting Jon Stone and we DID get to drive around LA within the pages.... Swallowed this one up in a day.

#TuneIntoNovember #day14 #Promises I can‘t think of anything real creative tonight for the prompt, tension headaches at a 7 & heading into migraine country so I‘m doing the best I can.This is an Elvis Cole/Joe Pike novel,two of my favourite characters ever written.Elvis is a loudmouth PI who underneath the bluster is definitely someone you want in your corner & Joe is on the outside stone cold & scary but underneath is loyal, trustworthy & caring.

Finally on to the last published Elvis Cole/Joe Pike novel. Had to buy it in ebook form coz I'm impatient. Elvis is in over his head after promising to find a clients friend. Too late, he finds out the friend is an explosives expert who is dealing with some not very safe people. I'm gonna miss Elvis & Pike when I finish.😎

"This is an enjoyable read, but to be fair, it won‘t be one I give another thought to now that I have finished the last page, ask me in two weeks what the finer points are and I won‘t be able to say." Reviewed by Urania https://goo.gl/MDGoKp
