It's kind of a macho man's view of LA book, a little bang bang shoot 'um up, but I like how the plot unravelled. And every once in awhile I like these army-guy-becomes-PI books. Sure Elvis is now a detective, but you get the sense he's only 2 weeks out of the jungle. Plus he's smart and finds the clues. Good fun, if you can stand a little gore. Just a little at the end anyway.
