“The World’s Greatest Detective”
Robert Crais is one of my favorite crime fiction writers. I have interviewed him a dozen times over the years and I always look forward to his next book. He’s amazing.
He is probably best known for his character Elvis Cole, a private investigator based in Los Angeles. Elvis likes to fancy himself as being “The World’s Greatest Detective.” Elvis has a buddy named Joe Pike. Joe is a former mercenary, an ex-cop, and a totally bad dude.
Last night I started reading “Taken,” (Putnam) the latest book in the series. I’m loving it! I looked at the tour schedule for the book and I saw that Bob Crais will be in Milwaukee today. Tomorrow he will be in Chicago.
So I wrote an e-mail to my buddy Bill in Chicago. I told him that if he saw Bob that he should say hello for me. This afternoon my phone rang. I picked it up. A familiar voice said: “Hi Vick, it’s Bob.”
Bob Crais called me from Milwaukee. He was smoking a cigar and hanging out with my buddy Bill. That just made my day.
