The beauty of recurring characters is that you don't have to explain their history, nor does the reader need to know the details. Just knowing that there is history makes them part of the atmosphere that envelops the story and gives it greater tension. Starkey, Pike, Crais uses their unspoken backstories to lubricate the plot that moves brilliantly from twist after twist and into suspense. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Did Cole mistakenely alibi the real serial killer, or is the real killer framing Cole's former client? *by K***T on Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2015* The premise is gruesome: A serial killer has been preying on women. The police believe they've caught the killer. The man claims his innocence and his lawyer hires Elvis to check out the alibi. The alibi is bullet-proof and so the man is released. Elvis is confident that he's prevented a miscarriage of justice though this means the killer remains loose. The case is closed. The police are angry - believing that Cole cleared a killer but Elvis is OK with that in his confidence in the man's innocence.Several years later the man is found dead by apparent suicide with a photo album full of pictures that could only have been taken by the actual killer. The police say "Aha! We were right!". But Elvis can't believe the man he cleared the real killer. The police are happy to accept the circumstantial evidence found with the body as sufficient proof of his guilt and are willing to close the case, blaming Elvis for the victims who were killed after the man he cleared was released. The families of the more recent victims blame Elvis too. So Elvis begins his own investigation to confirm whether he missed something the first time or whether the real killer has framed the dead man.The answer will surprise you and the adventures of Cole and Pike along the way make this book an enjoyable read equal to any of Crais' previous books in this series. I thoroughly enjoyed every page and found it difficult to put down. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Darkness Uncovered *by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2014* I am a big fan of Robert Crais. He has a long list of best sellers that feature detective Elvis Cole and his friend and helper Joe Pike. Michael Connelly is perhaps the best writer of police procedurals and detective fiction. Crais is a close second. Crais book "Hostage" was particularly good and made into a movie. Also recommend his books that featureJoe Pike such as "Sentry." Chasing Darkness is a good read but not his best work. In this book Cole, an ex LA cop, now private detectiveinvestigates an apparent suicide of a man Cole had previously cleared of a murder charge. The man is found withpictures of a number of dead women and Cole is tagged by police with keeping a serial killer on the streets. Cole is confident that his previous investigation was correct and that something is fishy with the suicide. Cole eventually finds the surprising real killer thru solid gumshoe work and there was definitely darkness discovered. I gave the book a three star because I was not invested in the characters as much as in his other books. That said it was a good read. I am constantly trying to find good detective novels and keep coming back to Connelly and Crais. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/5304707-chasing-darkness-elvis-cole](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/5304707-chasing-darkness-elvis-cole) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
