" I've read all of Robert Crais's books and I've found them less enjoyable in the past few years. The story jumps through different time-back and forth-it makes the story very interesting. This is a fast paced book written from the different hero's perspectives.
" This was a good book, I enjoy the Cole & Pike series, especially when Stone is incorporated in the mix.
Overall Performance: Narration Rating: Story Rating:. Cole is generally in close third person, but sometimes in first. Crais experiments with time and point of view. She and her boy friend, it becomes clear, have been seized when they accidentally find themselves in the middle of a seizure operation. Cole is hired by the mother of a young woman who has disappeared. "Elvis Cole and Joe Pike take on a gang who steal humans being smuggled into the US, then demand money from relatives-or kill their captives if no money is forthcoming. “Luke Daniels doesn't just narrate Robert Crais's latest novel featuring Elvis Cole and Joe Pike-he transports us to the terrifying world of human trafficking, which Cole must infiltrate in order to find a client's missing daughter.” -Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine Praise for the narrator’s performance of Taken by Robert Crais: Thrilling, emotional, passionate, with some of the best characters and well-crafted writing in all of crime fiction, Taken is further proof that “Crais just keeps getting better” ( Publishers Weekly). Now it is up to Joe Pike to retrace Cole’s steps, burning through the hard and murderous world of human traffickers to find his friend. Going undercover to find the couple and buy them back, Cole himself is taken, and disappears. 
They know things look as bad as possible.īut they are wrong, too. There are tire tracks, bullet casings, and bloodstains. They steal drugs, guns, and people-buying and selling victims like commodities, and killing the ones they can’t get a price for.Ĭole and Pike find the spot where the couple were taken. The girl and her boyfriend have been taken by bajadores-bandits who prey on other bandits, border professionals who prey not only on innocent victims, but on one another. She knows it’s a fake, that her daughter is off with the guy Nita will call only “that boy,” and that they need money: “Even smart girls do stupid things when they think a boy loves them.”īut she is wrong. When Nita Morales hires Elvis Cole to find her missing adult daughter, she isn’t afraid, even though she’s gotten a phone call asking for ransom. Crais has never written a book with the power and intensity of Taken.
