Chasing Darkness by Robert Crais
5.0
This was a fast and fun read, although not as much humor as many of the previous books.
In this story, a man that Elvis helped get off by proving he could not have committed the crime is later believed to be guilty, but Elvis doesn't believe it. There are a few things that make it unlikely, but the case seems to be signed, sealed and delivered. Even the lawyer that Elvis worked for at the time now believes the man did it. The police don't want Elvis to investigate at all, but he lives by his own rules. Besides, everyone thinks he got a killer off who killed again, and are not too happy about it, so he needs to clear his name. Several twists later, he figures it all out.
