About this deal

Written with the heart, humour, and relentless suspense for which Crais is famous, Racing the Light delivers Elvis Cole’s most dangerous case yet. Crais hits the ground running with Racing the Light, employing all his trademark touches: an engrossing plot-heavy story accented with Elvis’ wry humor, solid action, characters whom readers have come to love and a high entertainment level.” There’s a double crossing of the River Erme estuary so it’s a race against the light.. and the tide. So wet feet from the off! For a different take on California there’s always Michael Connelly’s The Dark Hours or a slightly darker vision of LA in A Man Named Doll by Jonathan Ames. Racing The Light is another grand slam for the master storyteller Robert Crais. If there’s a better dynamic duo than Elvis Cole and Joe Pike in all of crime fiction, I’m not aware of it.”

The race starts at the bottom of the slipway on Coastguards Beach, and finishes with a mighty uphill climb to the SchoolhouseDevon restaurant, high above the water. Tough, funny and hugely entertaining – superbly crafted crime fiction in the best traditions of the PI novel. It’s easy to see why Robert Crais has won many major prizes for his writing, he’s spot on here. It’s the original RACE THE LIGHT CLASSIC – 8.5 miles of shadowy estuarine trails, meandering through the privately owned Flete Estate.Cole discovers Skylar is trying to make it as an artist. Her work is being shown at a local gallery but until her career takes off she hasn’t left her former life behind yet. Skylar doesn’t just make film’s, she’s an escort. Maybe she witnessed something, got too close to the wrong people. Cole starts poking around, he’s not the only one trying to find Josh. When a car tries to mow him down he turns to his partner Joe Pike for help. A couple of weeks later Adele Schumacher and her minders waltz into Cole’s office. Her boy Josh is missing and the police don’t care. Of course, she wants him found. She throws a wedge of cash on the desk. She doesn’t believe in banks, telephones or digital trails. All round this is starting to sound like a very weird family because Adele’s theory is that the US government is behind Josh’s disappearance and the answers are to be found in the Nevada Desert. Area 51, to be exact. There’s a lot going on in Racing the Light—romance, corruption, high-speed action, cutting-edge spyware—but Mr. Crais keeps it all in fine balance.” Robert Crais is a legend who deserveshis place alongside Chandler, Hammett & Himes as a true master of the crime and mystery genre' STEVE CAVANAGH

The start time for the race is 1:50pm (subject to change of 15-20 minutes depending on weather and tidal conditions on Raceday). The Elvis Cole and Joe Pike novels are among the very finest series in existence. I love these books. You will too' STEVE CAVANAGHCrais’ affection for his characters, masterful pacing, and dry wit make this one of his better efforts…[Crais]keeps the traditional detective novel alive and well.”
