Me too on Robert Crais, the question is, where the heck has he been lately?

      He apparently took a break between 2003 and 2005, but he's been producing about one a year since. Latest two are "Chasing Darkness" (Elvis / Joe) and a new one in hardcover, "The First Rule," a Joe Pike novel.

              I really have to find my box with all his novels and reread them!

                I want to thank several of y'all for mentioning Patricia Cornwell. You peaked my interest enough to pick up a couple of her books and now I am a real fan!

                  I used to include Lawrence Block in this category, but it seems he's been missing the last couple of years.

                    I too liked his work and yes, where's he been?
