Not really a one night stand, because I read more slowly 
 this time around, catching all the "flavor" of it...I love Elvis Cole. And I love Robert Crais. I thought his newest one was the best and now maybe I think this one? I need to go back and re-read the next one because this one leaves off w/Lucy's and Elvis's relationship in a certain stage and the latest one has another stage and I don't remember what went in between. 
 Anyway lots of good LA feeling, much better than the city itself, just the nice parts are in this series really -- well not so much NICE as tolerable, but anyhow Elvis slides through the city like a shark thru the water and comes out on top...or something. The truth is, I woke up at 2 and stayed awake all night reading this one, so I am somewhat braindead. Thanks, Elvis.
