Just a quick short, written 20 years ago and reposted for Debra. Elvis Cole, Joe Pike O/C ("Laura Sternwood", lol, digging into Raymond Chandler for names)

While on vacation with Elvis Cole in Fiji, Diana Carter, Joe Pike's daughter gets the news her son is missing. Pike, Elvis and Diana must find out why he went missing, as Pike hunts the man responsible.

A mysterious woman shows up at The Elvis Cole Detective Agency looking for help with a stalker. Elvis doesn't realize his friend Joe Pike is already on the job. Sometimes beautiful things come in deadly packages.

I'm a Robert Crais fan and writer. After The Watchman I got a Joe Pike story stuck in my head and had to write it out. I know it's Joe's story but I HAD to write Elvis in first person. It seemed to work better. I guess I love their unique relationship.
