Finally, Joe Pike gets a headliner! If you have been reading Crais's Elvis Cole PI series, you know he's a fabulous writer and you also know that under no circumstances would you ever want to get on the wrong side of Coles sidekick, Joe Pike. Yikes, lookout, what a ride. If you like action adventure, making right a wrong, Robert Crais simply walks tall among all the schlock authors and The Watchman is a prize.
