Rating: 
LA private eye Elvis Cole and his enigmatic sidekick Joe Pike help 3 children track down their father, a missing witness under the Federal Witness Protection Program. Pretty good up to about 2/3rds of the way through, but this one really loses it at the end. Implausible, lazy writing. The final 10 chapters felt so contrived, like the author didn’t know what to do with the plot, and just wanted to get it out the door. It was so bad I skipped the last few chapters. Don’t let this book discourage you from reading the much better Voodoo River.
