Synopsis

“Quick, cutting wit . . . a keen ear.”—The New York Times Book ReviewHollywood’s newest wunderkind is Peter Alan Nelsen, the brilliant, erratic director known as the King of Adventure. His films make billions, but his manners make enemies. What the boy king wants, he gets, and what Nelsen wants is for Elvis to comb the country for the wife and infant child the film-school flunkout dumped en route to becoming the third-biggest filmmaker in America. It’s the kind of case Cole can handle in his sleep—until it turns out to be a nightmare. For when Cole finds Nelsen’s ex-wife in a small Connecticut town, she’s nothing like he expects. She has some unwanted—and very nasty—mob connections, which means Elvis could be opening an East Coast branch of his P.I. office...at the bottom of the Hudson River.“Elvis [Cole] is the greatest . . . [ he is] perhaps the best detective to come along since Travis McGee.”—San Diego Tribune“[Crais is] far better at the private-eye-novel racket than most writers.”—Newsweek

Now that’s more like it! I’d been hoping that I’d enjoy this series to give me some fresh detective stories, but the results had been mixed so far. The Monkey's Raincoat and Stalking the Angel had a lot I liked, but Elvis Cole and his bad-ass friend Joe Pike were seeming like pale imitations of Rober......more

Goodreads review by Carol on December 06, 2022

I find it funny how quickly we become accustomed to how the reality of the little things are in whatever period of time we live in. My husband is still laughing at the question I voiced more than once while reading this book. This novel was written in 1992. I found myself wondering and commenting on......more

Goodreads review by Bill on May 21, 2020

Elvis Cole’s third adventure may be the best so far. It’s well-plotted, exciting. with crisp irreverent dialogue (just like books #1 and #2), but it has a rather interesting structure: there’s no murder to be solved in this one, merely a problem to be resolved. Merely? The term is misleading for it i......more

Goodreads review by Eric on June 05, 2012

Lullaby Town, the third book in the Elvis Cole series, starts off very slowly. The opening chapters serve as a character study of arrogant Hollywood director Peter Allen Nelson, followed by a less than inspiring missing person search by Cole for Nelson's estranged ex-wife. However, the story finally......more
