It certainly won’t be the last book of his I’ll read, because I very much enjoyed the ride. If so, it’s long lost in the ocean of books I’ve read since, so effectively The Promise is my introduction to his work. I have a feeling I may have read one of Crais’s thrillers back in the 1990s or early 2000s.
Reluctant to trust each other at first, Elvis and Scott - with the help of Elvis’s partner Joe Pike and their mercenary friend Jon Stone - uncover a conspiracy in which various people are not at all what they seem. Next thing he knows, Elvis has walked smack into a murder case - where of course he instantly becomes Suspect #1 - and into the storyline of Crais’s characters from a different series, LAPD K-9 Officer Scott James and his four-footed partner, Maggie. Los Angeles PI Elvis Cole is hired off the books by Meryl Lawrence, senior executive in an explosives manufacturer, to track down Amy Breslyn, an employee who’s gone AWOL with a stack of plastic explosive and nearly half a million bucks in company money.
