Elvis Cole finds himself in Lousiana tracing the adoption of a Hollywood celebrity. She tells Cole that she just wants her medical information from her birth parents. Cole finds life in Lousiana to be much different from Hollywood, but he soon is drawn into a relationship with Lucy, the attorney for adoptees. Life would be nice if he could just spend time with Lucy, but Elvis soon realizes that there are more secrets in the Lousiana Bayou than he could ever imagine. Elvis must decide whether he is more committed to protecting his client or for working for justice in an untolerable situation.
I really liked this book alot but at times it seemed to drag. I loved seeing Elvis with someone as nice as Lucy but I also got pretty confused by the two conflicting mob groups and the scam they were running. It all got pretty convoluted. As always, Robert Crais tells gives vivid descriptions of his settings and characters. I especially enjoyed the character of the old lady who hopped around her trailer with a can of Raid to kill bugs. I'll be checking out more of Robert Crais and I'll hope this book was one of his "not so great" ones.
Rating - 4 stars
