TAKEN

A wealthy women who is an illegal alien calls Elvis Cole for help when her daughter goes missing. The businesswoman thinks it may be a prank when her daughter calls asking for money. She's pretty sure that she just ran off with her boyfriend for a last fling before graduation. Still, the girl has everything going for her and it seems unlikely that she would decide to throw it all away and ask her mother for a few hundred dollars. Elvis Cole soon learns that the girl may be involved in an ugly ring of human trafficking. The stakes get even higher when Cole himself is taken and it's up to Joe Pike to find him.

As usual, Robert Crais' books draw you in from the very first page. I knew nothing about human trafficking and was appalled by the vivid descriptions. I always love Elvis Cole but this was a great combination of Cole and Pike. I raced through this book like I always do the books in this series and I can't wait for the next one!

Rating - A
