"Yet more tough, cracking stuff from Crais, who returns to form by giving his best characters Elvis Cole and Joe Pike plenty of lethal action"
Sue Arnold, THE GUARDIAN
'Fast-paced, action packed, mentally untaxing and grittily read. In short, everything a good thriller should be.'
Alex Gordon, Peterborough Evening Telegraph
"This thriller takes off like a cat with its tail on fire, and it's still smoking by the time it hits the last page."
David Sexton, Evening Standard
''(the book) functions admirably as a thriller... (his books) provide so much pleasure to so many of us... including to me''
Canary Wharf City Life
''Packed with plot twists and suspense, The Watchman serves up a finely balanced offering of action and intrigue which will keep you guessing right to the finish''
Vincent Banville, Irish Times
"This is a novel of suspense, and it keeps racking up the tension until the very end. Crais is an old-timer at this kind of thing and THE WATCHMAN is him at his very best."
A long time ago, Joe Pike asked for help. In return, he would, one day, be called upon to return the favour, no questions asked. That day has come. Joe Pike is asked to protect the life of Larkin Conner Barkley, a spoiled rich girl who happens to be a federal witness in a major case. But someone is leaking information about their whereabouts, and the killers are getting all too close. So Pike he hatches a plan: disappear into the anonymous underbelly of Los Angeles, turn the tables, and hunt down the hunters. Enlisting the help of Elvis Cole, Pike uncovers a web of lies and betrayals; even the cops aren't who they seem. But as the body count rises, it becomes clear that Pike's biggest threat may be the girl herself - an edgy, yet intensely vulnerable soul determined to destroy herself, unless Joe can fill the void in her bruised heart.
