Elvis Cole's girlfriend, Lucy, is out of town and she has left her young son, Ben, in Elvis' care. Elvis and Lucy have had a few problems lately—not least over his job as a private investigator. But at last, things seem to be getting better.

Then Ben disappears. One minute he's playing his computer game in Elvis' house; the next he has vanished. Elvis looks everywhere, but he just can't find Ben; and neither can Lucy when she arrives.

Then Elvis receives a phone call about Ben—and realises that something from his own past has come back to haunt him...

The Last Detective by Robert Crais is a riveting tale of suspense and intrigue that tests the limits of loyalty and trust.
