Chasing Darkness: An Elvis Cole Novel (Elvis Cole Novels)
After earning a law degree, James Daniels quit recording audiobooks, but returned to read Crais's newest Elivis Cole and Joe Pike mystery (his previous Crais recordings includeThe Forgotten Man,Hostage,The Last Detective,Lullaby TownandThe Watchman). It's a welcome return and Daniel's no-nonsense reading elevates one of Crais's lesser efforts and turns it into an enjoyable listening experience. Slipping back into these characters, Daniels easily distinguishes Cole's wise-guy banter from Pike's steely resolution, and he gives this outing's enigmatic villain, Lionel Byrd, just the right note of weirdness. A fire unearths evidence that someone Cole helped prove innocent of murdering a prostitute six years ago may actually have been guilty—and may have killed many other women. Cole and Pike dodge bullets as they dig around to find out the truth.A Simon & Schuster hardcover (Reviews, May 19). (July)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
