Fiction. Mystery. Thriller. HTML:Private investigators Joe Pike and Elvis Cole get double-crossed in this twisty, gripping New York Times bestseller that will have readers on the edge of their seats.
When gangbangers shake down the modest owner of a Los Angeles eatery, Joe Pike intervenes. For all intents and purposes, Pike saved Wilson Smith's life. But for reasons of their own, Smith and his lovely niece, Dru, are curiously resentful. It's only when Pike's feelings for the woman deepen that he and his partner, Elvis Cole, discover that Dru and her uncle are not at all who they seem, and everything Pike has learned about them is a lie. But it's much more than a deception. It's a trap. And with every new twist it's proving to be a killer.… (mehr)

This is one of two novels bundled together in a Reader’s Digest Large Type edition. Private Detective Joe Pike and his comrade Elvis Cole solve one more mystery together..

Another great Joe Pike novel. He tries to rescue a damsel in distress who isn't who she appears to be. Things go downhill quickly. Elvis Cole plays a big role in this one; I love how these two characters interact and their unspoken bond with each other. ( )

This was a strange one. Still had the characters and plot we love, but was still a little strange. Like, for example the bad guy, thought he was a werewolf, wanted to kill a zombie, and had two people talking to him the whole time, who were they, voices in his head? Was he schizophrenic or something? They seemed to make a big point of it, but never explained it away. Also at the end, we always hear how careful Joe Pike is and how good he is, but that guy gets the drop on him no problem? Come on, Pike would have picked that guy up a mile away regularly if it wasn't needed for the plot. But don't change your characters to fit the plot, change the plot to fit the characters!

But overall it was an enjoyable book, as they all are, I'm just being nitpicky. ( )

Easterfield, Irlanda, 1944. Tess ha sette anni quando sua madre muore, lasciandola con un padre difficile, tre sorelle maggiori e due fratelli. Per lo choc, la bambina smette di parlare, e recupera molto lentamente, con l'aiuto di un ragazzo che lavora nella fattoria. Man mano che Tess cresce, va a scuola e diventa infermiera, le sorelle si sposano. Una di loro, Claire, con un americano, e Tess la raggiunge a New York. Il fulcro della sua vita diventa il lavoro, ed è grazie a una collega che conosce David, un ragazzo affascinante: Tess si innamora, e resta incinta. Sono gli anni Sessanta, nella comunità irlandese, e una gravidanza fuori dal matrimonio è un'impensabile tragedia, equivale a ostracismo e isolamento. Così Tess si ritrova sola, unico punto di riferimento, Willa, una generosa e saggia vicina di casa in Academy street. E comincia un difficile processo di maturazione tra gli impegni di lavoro e la convivenza con il figlio Theo che crescendo si staccherà da lei, e riuscirà a instaurare un rapporto civile solo dopo essersi sposato e allontanato da casa. Il tentativo di riprendere una vita sentimentale la fa sentire a disagio, la spinge alla rinuncia definitiva. Quando va in pensione e si appassiona alla lettura, trova finalmente un equilibrio e riesce a riconciliarsi con il figlio, anche se una nuova tragedia, più grande di tutte le altre, è in agguato. ( )
