These two are perfect opposites; Cole (the world's greatest detective) is flamboyant and extrovert, while Pike is quiet, mysterious, like a slow-moving but deep and dangerous river.

Together they are a formidable force, and God help any of LA's baddies who find themselves on the sharp end of Cole's and Pike's investigations. On the other hand, both heroes can stand alone with heads held high, and have in fact featured independently in their own stories.

Robert Crais has hit on a winning formula with these two. Even Joe Pike would twitch the side of his mouth in agreement - the ex-Delta Force operstive's equivalent of a guffaw.(less)

The Book of the Year!

Actually, my apologies, I think I’ve transposed the headline; maybe it should be The Year of the Book, since 2023 was when I completed and published my first spy novel, Unity. Thank you, thanks. Wonderful. No really, there’s no need. Oh all right, keep going… (takes a bow, accepts flowers)

Was Unity a success? Well, that's a good question, but it might not be the best way to ask it. I’m reminded of Read more of this blog post »

Unity by Mike Bodnar
" Why only two stars? "
Unity by Mike Bodnar
"I thoroughly enjoyed reading Unity. Its twists and turns as I got into it kept me reading long after I should have put it down and done something productive!

In some ways it felt very current day, but you are hauled back into the 1960's by a landline " Read more of this review »

What a fantastic read!

A Gentleman in Moscow was recommended to me by a friend and I got it from the library not knowing a thing about it and never having read anything by Towles before. It was glorious, so much so that I didn't want it to end.
