The Wanted (Elvis Cole, #17; Joe Pike, #6)

The Wanted by Robert Crais
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When Devon finds large sums of money in her socially awkward sons room she hires Elvis Cole to find out where her son is getting the money. It doesn't take Elvis long to discover that Trevor, his girlfriend Amber, and Adam have been robbing houses. Unfortunately the kids picked the wrong house to rob and now two hitmen are after them.

Elvis and Pike race to find Trevor and Amber before the hitmen do after Adam is killed, along with a string of other people who had information about the kids and the laptops they stole. The body count is mounting and Elvis still doesn't have a clue why the laptop the kids stole is so important it's worth killing for.

Elvis arranges to turn the kids into the police after he tracks them down seconds before the hitmen do and puts himself in the duos cross hairs, but things go wrong when Amber runs away from the safe house and straight into the arms of the waiting hitmen. Despite the danger Elvis goes after her and plays for time hoping that Pike will get their before they are killed.
