Book: The Wanted

Rating: 8/10
Review: The Wanted is the latest in the Elvis Cole/Joe Pike series. It starts when a woman hires Cole to how her teenage son got a very expensive watch and some very expensive clothes. From there it follows a fairly typical trajectory: Cole starts investigating and, when things become too violent, he calls in Joe Pike. It turns out the kid and some friends have been stealing from rich people's homes. But one of the thefts really pissed off one of the owners and that person hired the villains of the book to find what was lost. Those villains, Harvey and Stemms, are the most interesting addition. They are not your everyday nasties. I hope they return.
