Summary

Summary

New York Times bestseller

A Reader’s Digest Pick of Best Thrillers of the Year

From the award-winning master of the genre comes the story of Joe Pike’s most perilous case to date.

Joe Pike didn’t expect to rescue a woman that day. He went to the bank, the same as anyone goes to the bank, and returned to his Jeep. So when Isabel Roland, the lonely young teller who helped him, steps out of the bank on her way to lunch, Joe is on hand when two men abduct her. Joe chases them down, and the two men are arrested.

But instead of putting the drama to bed, the arrests are only the beginning of the trouble for Joe and Izzy. After posting bail, the two abductors are murdered and Izzy disappears.

Pike calls on his friend, Elvis Cole, to help learn the truth. What Elvis uncovers is a twisted family story that involves corporate whistleblowing, huge amounts of cash, the Witness Relocation Program, and a long line of lies. But what of all that did Izzy know? Is she a perpetrator or a victim? And how far will Joe go to find out?

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Crais unspools this tense and involving saga…with dashes of wit, lots of local color, many bursts of sudden action and some 300 pages of relentless suspense.” —Wall Street Journal
“A muscular thriller...Cole and Pike make a terrific pair.” —Seattle Times
“A Dangerous Man is another in a long string of sumptuous mysteries that deliver the goods while exceeding our expectations. Not to be missed.” —Providence Journal
“Narrator Luke Daniels does a wonderful job of bringing the characters in this mystery alive…Daniels’s timing is spot-on, allowing the humor in the writing, particularly the rapid-fire dialogue, to shine.” —AudioFile
“Crais never loses control of his clean, clear prose or his ability to sketch fully fleshed characters in a few scenes, with Joe providing the action and Elvis providing the insight. A taut, exceptional thriller.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Outstanding…Crais begins the story with deceptive simplicity but slowly ratchets up both the tension and the action with surgical precision. The scenes in which Joe saves Isabel from her captors and the final shoot-out among a colorful array of hit men, police, and US marshals stand as high-water marks among Crais’s illustrious crime oeuvre.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Crais is a whip-smart writer. Cole and Pike are carefully drawn, multilayered characters who’ve grown more complex through the years. This is one of the very best entries in a long-running and still first-rate series.” —Booklist (starred review)
