THE MONKEY'S RAINCOAT (read by Patrick Lawlor)

When Ellen Lang's husband disappears with their son, she hires Elvis Cole to track him down. A quiet and seemingly submissive wife, Ellen can't even write a check without him. All she wants is to get him and her son back - no questions asked. The search for Ellen's errant husband leads Elvis into the seamier side of Hollywood. He soon learns that Mort Lang is a down-on-his-luck talent agent who associates with a schlocky movie producer, and the last place he was spotted was at a party thrown by a famous and very well-connected ex-Matador. But no one has seen him since - including his B-movie girlfriend. At the same time the police find Mort in his parked car with four gunshots in his chest - and no kid in sight - Ellen disappears. Now nothing is what it seems, and the heat is on. It's up to Elvis Cole and his partner, Joe Pike, to find the connection between sleazy Hollywood players and an ex-Matador.

STALKING THE ANGEL (read by Patrick Lawlor)

Hired by a hotel magnate to locate a priceless Japanese manuscript, L.A. private eye Elvis Cole encounters the notorious Yakuza, the Japanese mob, and is drawn into a game of sexual obsession, amorality, and evil.

LULLABY TOWN (read by Mel Foster)

Hollywood's newest wunderkind is Peter Alan Nelson, the brilliant, erratic director known as the King of Adventure. His films make billions, but his manners make enemies. What the boy king wants, he gets, and what Nelson wants is for Elvis Cole to comb the country for the airhead wife and infant child the film-school flunkout dumped en route to becoming the third biggest filmmaker in America. It's the kind of case Cole can handle in his sleep - until it turns out to be a nightmare. For when Cole finds Nelson's wife in a small Connecticut town, she's nothing like what he expects. The lady has some unwanted - and very nasty - mob connections, which means Elvis could be opening the East Coast branch of his P.I. office...at the bottom of the Hudson River.

Addictive, loved this series!

It's like discovering a new masterpiece! Can't wait to continue the adventures of Robert Karis.

Three for the price of one/great value

I stumbled into the this series by Caris a couple of months ago.

I started with the triple series based on Joe Pike and really enjoyed the story lines and figured I'd start at the beginning of the series.

Glad I didn't start here, it would have turned me off the series and the author. Needless to say he has fine tuned both his writing style and character development over the years and now falls in line with my other favs, Burke, Connelly and Baldacci.

Glad I invested the credit to have the back story on Elvis and Joe but this set of stories lacked the umph the later books offer, the stories..... I had to push myself to get thru all three.

Robert Crais- Elvis Cole series

These books are great! Excellent storyline! Makes my long commute enjoyable. Just downloaded another one.

Nice to read

If you enjoy no cellphone,no super tech this is a fun bundle. I love as I looked for a pay phone gumshoe detective Elvis Cole. Pike is a great addition as partner.
Nice to slow down.

I liked it

I liked this quite a bit. All the narrators did a good job but I like it better when there is the same narrator all the way through the series. Other than that I'll keep going through the series.
