The first three Elvis Cole novels - the series that laid the foundation for one of the most exciting careers in modern American crime fiction. Includes 'Stalking The Angel', 'Lullaby Town', 'The Monkey's Raincoat'.
'Stalking The Angel'
Bradley Warren had lost something very valuable, something that belonged to someone else: a rare thirteenth-century Japanese manuscript called the Hagakure. Everything PI, Elvis Cole, knew about Japanese culture he'd learned from reading 'Shogun', but he knew a lot of crooks - and what he didn't know, his sociopathic sidekick Joe Pike did.
Together their search begins in LA's little Tokyo and the nest of the notorious Japanese mafia, the yakuza, and leads to a white-knuckled adventure filled with madness, murder and sexual obsession - just another day's work for Elvis Cole.
'Lullaby Town'
Peter Alan Nelsen is a super-successful movie director who is used to getting what he wants. And what he wants is to find the wife and infant child he dumped on the road to fame. It's the kind of case that Cole could handle in his sleep, except that when Cole actually finds Nelsen's ex-wife, everything takes on nightmarish proportions - a nightmare which involves Cole with a nasty New York mob family and a psychokiller who is the son of the godfather. When the unpredictable Nelsen charges in, an explosive situation blows sky-high.
'The Monkey's Raincoat'
When quiet Ellen Lang enters Elvis Cole's Disney-Deco office, she's lost something very valuable - her husband and her young son. The case seems simply enough, but Elvis isn't thrilled. Neither is his enigmatic partner and firepower Joe Pike.
Their search down the seamy side of Hollywood's studio lots and sculptured lawns soon leads them deep into a nasty netherworld of drugs and sex - and murder. Now the case is getting interesting, but it's also turned ugly. Because everybody, from cops to starlets to crooks, has declared war on Ellen and Elvis.
