Publisher's Summary
Joining forces with his enigmatic partner, Joe Pike, Elvis frantically searches for Ben with the help of LAPD Detective Carol Starkey, as Lucy's wealthy, oil-industry ex-husband attempts to wrest control of the investigation. Amid the maelstrom of personal conflicts, Elvis and Joe are forced to consider a more troubling lead - one indicating that Ben's disappearance is connected to a terrible, long-held secret from Elvis Cole's past.
Venturing deep inside a complex psyche, Crais explores Elvis' need for family - the military that embraced him during a troubled adolescence, his rock-solid partnership with Pike, and his floundering relationship with Lucy - as they race the clock in their search for Ben. The Last Detective is Robert Crais' richest, most intense tale of suspense yet.
Investigate another case with Elvis Cole and Joe Pike.

"Can't get enough"
Since I read the first book in this series I cannot get enough of Elvis and Joe. The books are gripping from start to finish. Crais needs to start turning them out because I'm almost at the end of the series. I give these 5 stars.

The story and narration were exceptional. After I read this book I downloaded all of Robert Crais' books. Highly recommended.

"Great listen! Great narrator!"
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?If you like Jack Reacher then you should love the Elvis Cole and Joe Pike duo. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good story line, fast paced but with emotions you can identify with.
What other book might you compare The Last Detective to and why?I would compare to Lee Child's Reacher series.
What does James Daniels bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?James Daniels brings humor and down to earth emotion to his characters. They have flaws but they continue to struggle onward.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?As soon as I finished this book, I looked for the next one in the series with the same author!
Any additional comments?I really enjoy the way Joe's character plays off Elvis's.

"One book and I was hooked"
Any additional comments?I came to crime fiction quite by accident and surprised myself about 2 years ago when i was looking for a new book and found THE FIFTH WITNESS by Michael Connelly. now I don't much want to read anything else.I found the Elvis and Joe series via Crais' SUSPECT, which I loved. I immediately bought the first three Cole/Pike-s. I have now been through most of them I was reluctant read the Pike-centric books because I am so wild about Elvis, but I now love the Still Zen quality of Joe. I hate guns. I am not so into this much violence, but I still really like the books. the Last Detective and LA Requiem are my favorites, but I like the whole series very much. not as much as Michael Connelly, but I like Crais enough to be wondering what will come next. To me, finding new authors is one of the great pleasures of reading.

"Another Credit to the Elvis Cole Joe Pike series"
Would you listen to The Last Detective again? Why?Yes, after a period of time. I really like the series with a few exceptions for less than stellar narrators and would listen to most any of them again.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Last Detective?Elvis and Joe putting it on the line during the rescue.
Which scene was your favorite?The ex-husbands deception uncovered.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?Just an enjoyable read that doesn't leave you feeling guilty for listening to a rediculously umbelievable storyline.
Any additional comments?Love the Elvis Cole, Joe Pike series.

Having discovered Elvis Cole and Joe Pike, I'm now an avowed fan of Robert Crais. Wow!

"Save your money!"
I rely on people's reviews. I guess since there were only two here I can't complain too much but...this book is very boring and just bordering on an unbelievable story line. This is the seventh book in a row that I've purchased from Audible based on customer reviews and I'm about ready to give up and read a biography! I have not been able to suffer through the six others and certainly cannot finish this one.
