Teenagers will be teenagers is what Private Investigator Elvis Cole thinks when a mother approaches him to find out how her son acquired an expensive Rolex watch, and the source of considerable cash he shouldn't have. But Devon Connor is a single mother, and sincere about getting to the bottom of her son's changed behavior, so Elvis reluctantly agrees to look into the matter.
When he finds out that Tyson Connor and his friends have stolen the wrong item from a rich and powerful person who is leaving a trail of corpses behind him in pursuit of his missing property, everything changes. Even the police investigation into the matter is hush-hush, and getting involved could get Elvis Cole and his partner Joe Pike killed right along with the missing Tyson and his girlfriend. It's a matter of life and death for the kids who finds them first...
Robert Crais' Elvis Cole crime series is so popular that our local library has extra copies for short term loans, but The Wanted (#710) is such a page turner, both my husband and I read it in less than the allotted seven days. Dealing with teen angst is so difficult for most adults, it did make me wonder a few times reading this whether or not Elvis and Pike would wind up strangling the kids themselves before they could get them safely into police custody, or whether the teens would be the death of them!
