A Dangerous Man : from the 'true master of the crime & mystery genre' (Steve Cavanagh)

As explosive as Michael Connelly and as addictive as Lee Child, A Dangerous Man has 'the smoothest writing and best storytelling you'll ever read' DAVID BALDACCI

‘Slick and enjoyable’ SUN

'Top-notch fun noir' SUNDAY TIMES CRIME CLUB (starred review)

DESPERATE MEN ARE DANGEROUS . . .

Joe Pike wasn't looking to save someone's life on the day he left the bank. But when he saw Isabel, a young teller, being forced into a car by two men, he had no choice but to chase them down.

Not long after being released on bail, the men are found dead and Isabel is missing. After his handling of the men, Pike is a prime suspect, along with Izzy – was this an abduction gone wrong? Or did it go exactly how she planned?

Convinced that her life is in danger, Pike involves Elvis Cole in a search for the truth, and for Izzy. But they’re not the only ones desperate to find her – and desperate men are dangerous.

Why Crais is the King of Crime . . .

'Just keeps getting better and better' David Baldacci

‘[Crais] expertly delivers his customary modern-day riff on the 1940s hardboiled idiom’ Guardian

'Outstanding' Publishers Weekly (starred review)

‘Another rewarding page-turner by one of the most reliable storytellers in modern crime fiction’ Daily Mail

'Crais is a whip-smart writer...This is one of the very best entries in a long-running and still first-rate series' Booklist on A Dangerous Man (starred review)

‘Cleverly plotted, stylishly written’ Washington Post

'If you've always wished Lee Child's Jack Reacher had a little more balance in his life - but the same formidable talents - you'll love Joe Pik . . . Crais never loses control of his clean, clear prose or his ability to sketch fully fleshed characters in a few scenes . . . A taut, exceptional thriller' Kirkus on A Dangerous Man (starred review)
