I guess I don't have to tell you how much I love Elvis and Joe.............they rank right up there with Sheppard and a few more.
I loved them from the first book I read which featured a
shaded Pike, taking it all in...quietly
I don't think Crais will ever release them as la la land has a way of ruining a perfectly good character.
I also feel same about Harry Bosch who I also love.
The sure ruined Stephanie Plum.........I love Katherine but not as Stephanie
IMO she is more like Stockard Channing in her GREASE day and I won't even comment on Joe Morelli or Ranger......

I loved them, too. I don't think Stephanie Plum bothers me as much as Tom Cruise wanting to be Jack Reacher. That's a mortal sin!

And I think Joe would make a wonderful Elvis Cole.

Cruise's grab for Jack Reacher is absolutely believable given
his fat ego.......
He has ruined many ventures e.g. von Stauffensberg in
Valkyrie and need I mention Last Samurai????
The story was terrific and the other cast members, but
he ruined what would have been a fine story.
Surprised he did not demand the role of John
His fat ego knows no limits

Joe as Elvis??
>;-)
and Pike?????
I also picture Joe as a perfect Bosch given his poignant
Detective Sheppard in VEGAS...
I love Harry.

BTW I saw the German version of Valkyie and it was
amazing. I never saw Cruise ruin von Stauffenberg

With this description of Pike in mind ...

A tall, muscular Anglo, dark from the sun, wearing a sleeveless gray sweatshirt and jeans. He had short, dark hair, dark glasses, and blurry tattoos on the outer rounds of his shoulders.
