Robert Crais is a terrific detective fiction author. Often listed with Lee Child and Michael Connelly.

Sadly there’s only one of his books available in audio in my 2 libraries. I’ll have to PAY MONEY if I want more.

L.A. Requiem (1999) is 8th in a series of linked novels centering on the private investigator Elvis Cole. …

Elvis Cole is contacted by business partner and friend Joe Pike to accept the request of Frank Garcia, owner of a tortilla company. The old tycoon wants the two to look for his daughter Karen Garcia …

Karen’s body is found by the police on a jogging trail in Lake Hollywood. …

The police are trying to cover facts about this murder. About half way through, Joe is charged with murder of a suspect in the case.

Things look grim for Elvis Cole.

I very much recommend this book.
