The Wanted

2017 | Mystery | Thriller

As addictive as Lee Child and as explosive as Michael Connelly – the new thriller from Robert Crais

Seventeen-year-old Tyson is a normal teenaged boy – he’s socially awkward, obsessed with video games, and always hungry. But his mother is worried that her sweet, nerdy son has started to change… and she’s just found a $40,000 Rolex watch under his bed. Suddenly very frightened that Tyson has gotten involved in something illegal, his mother gets in touch with a private investigator named Elvis Cole and asks him to do some digging.
 
Cole uncovers a connection between Tyson and eighteen unsolved burglaries in LA’s ritziest neighbourhood. Tyson spooks and runs.
 
And then the bodies start turning up…

-Lawrence Block on The Monkey's Raincoat

'Taken is intense and fast-paced and reads like a big-budget Hollywood blockbuster!'
-CNN

'A tale of one man’s bare-knuckled search for redemption. Like the best L.A. noir writers, Crais nudges the mystery genre into higher gear, tackling grand themes in exceedingly personal ways through flawed heroes and hard-to-spot villains'
