    About this audiobook

    Meet Elvis Cole, L.A. private eye . . . he quotes Jiminy Cricket and carries a .38. He’s a literate, wise-creacking Vietnam vet who is determined never to grow up.

    The blonde who walked into Cole’s office was the best looking woman he’d seen in weeks. The only thing that kept her from rating a perfect “10” was the briefcase on one arm and the uptight hotel magnate on the other. Bradley Warren had lost something very valuable—something that belonged to someone else: a rare thirteenth-century Japanese manuscript called the Hagakure.

    Just about all Cole knew about Japanese culture he’d learned from reading Shogun, but he knew a lot about crooks—and what he didn’t know his sociopathic sidekick, Joe Pike, did. Together their search begins in L.A.’s Little Tokyo and the nest of notorious Japanese mafia, the yakuza, and leads to a white-knuckled adventure filled with madness, murder, sexual obsession, and a stunning double-whammy ending. For Elvis Cole, it’s just another day’s work.

    “Devotees of the rock ‘em, sock ‘em school should find [Stalking the Angel] tasty.”—The San Diego Union

      Robert Crais has been one of my favorite authors. Two of my favorite fictional characters have been his wisecracking, sarcastic PI Elvis Cole and his taciturn partner Joe Pike. The author brings these characters alive in his writings. They are so vividly portrayed that you feel as if you know them. His novels are well plotted down and gripping. He paints such a picture of LA from its glitz and glamor down to its dark underbelly. I am a long time fan and look forward to each of his novels.
