Funk Rating: 8.5 out of 10
A little catch-up here on blogging. I read this a few months ago and just now realized I didn't blog it. Shame on me!
This is a great thriller -- one of those strong, wicked, silent types (Joe Pike) who's an avenging badass on the side of angels. Pike protects those that need protecting; no real questions (his watchman duties come out of a favor he owes), just doing his duty. Fast cars, a beautiful young woman who needs protecting (albeit a dose of trouble), and a great plotline. Super pacing, good plot twists, a few very good surprises. And an ending that makes you feel justice was well and truly done (e.g., bad guys get what they deserve). Simply delightful escapism!
This book has me hooked on Crais -- I'm going backwards and catching up on the series for Joe Pike is actually a sidekick of a guy named Elvis Cole. Someone who I think I'm going to like.
Put this in your airplane bag, it's a goodie!
