Product Information

The Elvis Cole and Joe Pike novels are among the very finest series in existence. I love these books. You will too' STEVE CAVANAGH Crais’ affection for his characters, masterful pacing, and dry wit make this one of his better efforts…[Crais]keeps the traditional detective novel alive and well.”

The start time for the race is 1:50pm (subject to change of 15-20 minutes depending on weather and tidal conditions on Raceday). There’s a lot going on in Racing the Light—romance, corruption, high-speed action, cutting-edge spyware—but Mr. Crais keeps it all in fine balance.” There is loads of the wry humour we have come to love Elvis for, and it's always fun to have Joe Pike and Jon Stone involved in the investigations. The Cole / Pike novels are in the tradition of the pulp detective fiction genre, sometimes known as hardboiled detective fiction. If you like Raymond Chandler and Robert B Parker, you will likely love these. Robert Crais is a legend who deserveshis place alongside Chandler, Hammett & Himes as a true master of the crime and mystery genre' STEVE CAVANAGH

Joe Pike plays only a small walk-on part in this one and i for one missed his presence very much. I am wondering if this series has now run its natural course and whether Robert Crais is now slightly struggling to find a fresh storyline.

It’s the original RACE THE LIGHT CLASSIC – 8.5 miles of shadowy estuarine trails, meandering through the privately owned Flete Estate. I'm not sure what the point of writing this little review is as it will be buried under thousands of others, but here goes. Racing The Light is another grand slam for the master storyteller Robert Crais. If there’s a better dynamic duo than Elvis Cole and Joe Pike in all of crime fiction, I’m not aware of it.”Tough, funny and hugely entertaining – superbly crafted crime fiction in the best traditions of the PI novel. It’s easy to see why Robert Crais has won many major prizes for his writing, he’s spot on here. Crais hits the ground running with Racing the Light, employing all his trademark touches: an engrossing plot-heavy story accented with Elvis’ wry humor, solid action, characters whom readers have come to love and a high entertainment level.”
