Available in a tall Premium Edition.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Elvis Cole is back in a desperate fight to clear his name in this spectacular thriller from Robert Crais, the #1 <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>A Dangerous Man.</i></b> <p/>It's fire season, and the hills of Los Angeles are burning. When police and fire department personnel rush door to door in a frenzied evacuation effort, they discover a week-old corpse of an apparent suicide. But the gunshot victim is less gruesome than what they find in his lap: a photo album of seven brutally murdered young women--one per year, for seven years. And when the suicide victim is identified as a former suspect in one of the murders, the news turns Elvis Cole's world upside down. <p/>Three years earlier, Lionel Byrd was brought to trial for the murder of a female prostitute named Yvonne Bennett. A taped confession coerced by the police inspired a prominent defense attorney to take Byrd's case, and Elvis Cole was hired to investigate. It was Cole's eleventh-hour discovery of an exculpatory videotape that allowed Lionel Byrd to walk free. Elvis was hailed as a hero. <p/>But the discovery of the death album in Byrd's lap now brands Elvis an unwitting accomplice to murder. Captured in photographs that could have only been taken by the murderer, Yvonne Bennett was the fifth of seven victims--two more young women were killed when Byrd walked free. So Elvis can't help but wonder--did he cause two more young women to lose their lives? <p/>Shut out of the investigation by a special LAPD task force determined to close the case, Elvis Cole and Joe Pike desperately fight to uncover the truth about Byrd and his nightmare album of death. <i>Chasing Darkness </i>is a blistering thriller from the bestselling author who sets the standard for intense, powerful crime writing.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[An] elegant thriller." <i><b>--Los Angeles Times</b></i><br><br>"Opens with a bang and never slows. . . .
