The Watchman

Robert Crais puts his hardboiled ex-cop Joe Pike at the center of the action in his latest pulse-pounding thriller, THE WATCHMAN. Pike has been asked to protect Larkin Barkley, a poor-little-rich-girl heiress turned government witness. Larkin witnessed a crime that has made her the target of some ruthless and powerful people, and Pike must do what he can to keep her safe--a difficult task, when he isn?t sure who to trust. Crais has the action move at a breakneck pace, with some surpising twists and turns that will likely keep readers on their toes. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
