About this product

Product Information

"Elvis Cole provides more fun for the reader than any L.A. private eye to come along in years."--Joseph Wambaugh WINNER OF THE ANTHONY AND MACAVITY AWARDS FOR BEST NOVEL - NOMINATED FOR THE EDGAR AND SHAMUS AWARDS FOR BEST NOVEL Meet Elvis Cole, L.A. Private Eye. . . . He quotes Jiminy Cricket and carries a .38. He's a literate, wisecracking Vietnam vet who is determined to never grow up. When quiet Ellen Lang enters Elvis Cole's Disney-Deco office, she's lost something very valuable--her husband and her young son. The case seems simple enough, but Elvis isn't thrilled. Neither is his enigmatic partner and firepower, Joe Pike. Their search down the seamy side of Hollywood's studio lots and sculptured lawns soon leads them deep into a nasty netherworld of drugs, sex--and murder. Now the case is getting interesting, but it's also turned ugly. Because everybody, from cops to starlets to crooks, has declared war on Ellen and Elvis. For Ellen, it isn't Funtown anymore. For Elvis, it's just a living . . . He hopes. Praise for The Monkey's Raincoat "Outstanding characters, tight plot, and scintillating prose style. . . . This fast-paced story speeds Elvis Cole to a chilling, heart-stopping ending." -- Mystery Scene "Is Bob Crais good? Put it this way: if they're taking you out to put you against the firing squad wall, and you want to enjoy your last moments on earth, pass on the last cigarette and ask for an Elvis Cole novel." --Harlan Ellison "Far and away the most satisfying private eye novel in years. Grab this one--it's a winner " --Lawrence Block "The best private eye novel of the year . . . lots of action; bright, crisp dialogue; and sharply drawn characters." -- The Denver Post "Robert B. Parker has some competition on his hands. . . . Elvis Cole is an appealing character and Crais's style is fresh and funny." --Sue Grafton "In Crais, a new star has appeared on the private eye scene--a dazzling first novel." --Tony Hillerman

Not as advertised. Book came from some library, if I wanted to steal a library book there’s one a few miles from my house. Automated customer service, little to no help. Tracking information wasn’t provided until I mentioned asking for a refund. Completely different edition of the book than what I expected upon viewing the picture and the description. Wouldn’t order from this seller again. Book ordered on the 26th of October & received it on the 6th of November although it was “shipped” the 26th

    First Novel of Elvis Cole and Joe Pike as Private Eyes

    This was the first combined Elvis Cole and Joe Pike novel (1985) so it is dated, as they are still using pay phones instead of cell phones, etc. Well written, but the grand finale is rushed and improbable (to me). Still fun to watch Elvis get in over his head, and Joe Pike have to come to his rescue. Worth reading but my least favorite of their series I have read so far.

    Great Book!

    I really enjoyed this book. I just happen to pick up the latest copy of Robert Crais' novel at the book store. Normally I am skeptic of reading different authors, but I decided to give the book a shot. I was very impressed with his writing. When I found out that he had a "series," I wanted to start from the beginning and work my way back to Crais's newer books. I prepared myself for this book to be of different quality than newer ones because it was the author's first book, but I stand corrected. I thought this book was just as good as Crais's latest novel. I had a very hard time putting this book down and it was very unpredictable. I can't wait to read his other novels.

    First Novel featuring Private Eye Elvis Cole

    This is a very exciting novel with almost nonstop action. It is Robert Crais' first novel featuring Elvis Cole as an L.A. private investigator. Cole stars out trying to find a missing husband and son and gets involved in drugs and crime families. I had read a few other Elvis Cole novels, so I wanted to read the first one. Robert Crais is great even in his first book. Cole's partner Joe Pike is also in this novel and he is a character you don't want to miss. This book is a very easy read, not long, -- and I didn't want to put it down.

    First Elvis Cole detective novel and good place to start....

    I read a review of one of the more recent Elvis Cole detective novels by Robert Crais, and it was very positive. But, since I had never heard of this series, much less read any of the books, I decided to read the first one written. It was very good...I like my detectives who know how to crack wise even if means they will end up with a sock to the jaw. The only way I could date the novel by reading it was the model and year of cars mentioned in it and the obvious fact this was before ubiquitous cell phones. The characters are three dimensional and at times surprising and the plot was captivating without being confusing or contrived.
