Chasing Darkness
Robert Crais has a new Elvis Cole novel coming out in July. I’m reading it now. I saw Crais last year in New York. It was strange to see him there. He is such an LA kind of guy.
I’m headed to Book Expo in LA at the end of the month. I hope to see Crais in his natural element. CHASING DARKNESS (Simon&Schuster) is the new novel. Crais has been chasing darkness for a while now.
I have interviewed him at least a dozen times. I’ll never forget one conversation we had. Crais always sets his novels in that urban sprawl of Los Angeles. He told me that he likes to drive around the area scouting locations, looking for those perfect spots. He knows one when he sees it. He told me, “what a perfect place to hide a body!”
Ya gotta love him. I love his books. Nobody does crime fiction better.
