![]() ![]() ![]() Praise for the narrator’s performance of Taken by Robert Crais: Thrilling, emotional, passionate, with some of the best characters and well-crafted writing in all of crime fiction, Taken is further proof that “Crais just keeps getting better” ( Publishers Weekly). Now it is up to Joe Pike to retrace Cole’s steps, burning through the hard and murderous world of human traffickers to find his friend. Going undercover to find the couple and buy them back, Cole himself is taken, and disappears. They know things look as bad as possible.īut they are wrong, too. There are tire tracks, bullet casings, and bloodstains. They steal drugs, guns, and people-buying and selling victims like commodities, and killing the ones they can’t get a price for.Ĭole and Pike find the spot where the couple were taken. The girl and her boyfriend have been taken by bajadores-bandits who prey on other bandits, border professionals who prey not only on innocent victims, but on one another. ![]() ![]() She knows it’s a fake, that her daughter is off with the guy Nita will call only “that boy,” and that they need money: “Even smart girls do stupid things when they think a boy loves them.”īut she is wrong. When Nita Morales hires Elvis Cole to find her missing adult daughter, she isn’t afraid, even though she’s gotten a phone call asking for ransom. Crais has never written a book with the power and intensity of Taken. ![]()
