A Dangerous Man, Crais- B+

                           I believe that if you asked any reader of crime fiction who the master of LA noir is today the answer would be Michael Connolly. That said, Crais' seventeen novels about Pike and Cole are just as good as Connolly's Bosch. This is a great one. A young bank teller is almost kidnapped, but the bad guys are stopped by Joe Pike who happens to be transacting business at the bank. As it turns out, her parents were in the witness protection program and the man her mom put away decades ago is after her. It's a fabulous read that I recommend to all.
