The Watchman
“He bought a spinach and cheese dish called saag paneer, vegetable jalfrezi, and garlic naan, thinking the girl would like them, and a quart of a sweet yogurt drink called lassi. The lassi was rich like a milk shake, and flavored with mango. Pike enjoyed smelling the strong spices—the garlic and garam masala; the coriander and cardamom. They reminded him of the rocky villages and jungle basins where he had first eaten these things. Pike was starving. A queasy hunger had grown in him as the stres...s burned from his system.
The sun was long down by the time Pike arrived at their house and turned into the drive. Everything looked fine. The door was closed and the shades glowed from the light within the house. In the abrupt silence when he turned off the car, his ears still whined, though less now than before. Pike was not going to tell the girl about Luis and Jorge, but he would tell her he had made progress, and thought that might make her feel better about things.
Pike locked the car, went to the door, and let himself in.MoreLess

This is one of the best books of the series. IF it ever makes it to the movie screen I hope they pick Joe Lando to play Joe Pike. I wish he had connected with Larkin, it showed us another side of implacable Pike. Robert Crais is a master of the human entity, he brings them to life on a deeper level than the minimal dialogue would suggest. Joe might not say much but he doesn't have to, he comes across loud and clear.Write Review:
