Book Review - The Sentry

Joe Pike fans, rejoice. Joe is back. Elvis Cole's partner and sidekick is back with another book where he is the main character. In typical Joe fashion, he inserts himself into an ad baculum dispute between a restaurant owner and some gang bangers. And, of course, he makes a connection with the owner's niece. He gives her his number and tells her to call if she has any more trouble. And you know that's gotta happen.

She makes the damsel in distress call but then disappears. Joe searches for the pair and finds that all is not what it seemed.

In classic Robert Crais style, this book is hard to put down. And he always sprinkles a little Louisiana into his books as well. I think this is one of his best novels. I recommend it.
