When a wealthy entrepreneur is accused of murder in Los Angeles,
wisecracking private eye Elvis Cole is hired to prove that the evidence
was corrupted and becomes suspicious about the defense attorney's
motivations.
Prominent restaurateur Teddy Martin is facing charges in his wife's
brutal murder. But he's not going down without spending a bundle of cash
on his defense. So his hotshot attorney hires P.I. Elvis Cole to find
proof that Detective Angela Rossi tampered with the evidence.
Detective Rossi needs a way back to the fast track after falling hard
during an internal investigation five years ago. But Cole needs to know
if she's desperate enough to falsify the case against Martin in order to
secure her own position.
As Cole and his partner Joe Pike work their way through a tangle of
witnesses and an even greater tangle of media, they begin to suspect
that it's not the police who are behind the setup.
The sixth book in the Elvis Cole series, Sunset Express is marked by
Robert Crais's dark humor and edge-of-your-seat suspense.
