The Watchman: a novel by Robert Crais

A Riveting Read***** May 26, 2007

Robert Crais keeps getting better. His latest novel features Elvis Cole sidekick Joe Pike in a fast-paced page turner. I picked up this novel to read a couple of chapers and before I knew it I was 100 pages in. You become so engrossed in the plot, it's hard to set it down. Joe Pike is one tough hombre. He owes a favour to a guy and risks his life to repay it by protecting a rich young heiress Larkin Barkley from dark forces. Larkin was in the wrong place at the wrong time and witnessed someone who didn't wish to be remembered. Pike puts life on the line to protect her and to do so shakes off her family and the law and shoots a few bad guys along the way. Highly recommended.
