Deeply hidden evil

“Crais masters compelling crime fiction by blending humor, terrific main characters, and suspense into a phenomenal package.” —First Clue

Traci Beller was thirteen when her father disappeared in the sleepy town of Rancha, not far from Los Angeles. The evidence says Tommy Beller abandoned his family, but Traci never believed it. Now, ten years later, Traci is a high-profile influencer with millions of followers and the money to hire the best detective she can find: Elvis Cole.

Elvis heads to Rancha where an ex-con named Sadie Givens and her daughter, Anya, might have a line on the missing man. But when Elvis finds himself shadowed by a gang of vicious criminals, the missing persons cold case becomes far more sinister.

Review Quote

“Elvis Cole and Joe Pike are right up there with Harry Bosch and Reacher as must reads for me. I finish every novel 100% satisfied and eager for the next installment. That’s exactly what happened when I finished The Big Empty. Robert Crais has mastered the fine art of storytelling.” — James Patterson
