The Wanted by Robert Crais
4.0

The Wanted is a good exemplar of Crais' work and the Cole/Pike series. In this one, though, we see things from the perspectives of at least three different people...Cole and Pike, the hitmen, and the pursued. I'm told that, for a novelist, it's a little difficult to pull off such a complicated thing, but Crais does it well. It is entertaining to get a glimpse of the goings on from each party's relatively limited view of the whole, to stand above the fray, as it were, and begin to weave the whole cloth from the varied strands. And, of course, Elvis and Pike prevail in a satisfying ending.
