Chain-link fences and barbed wire spine along the top of the walls to keep out people, but the walls keep in the river. Robert Crais (Author) rrp 9.99 Description Packed with whiplash plot twists and taut dialogue.THE WATCHMAN is as good a psychological test case as it is.
Now, when it wakes, the river climbs those concrete walls so high that wet claws rake the freeways and bridges as it tries to pull down a passing car or someone caught out in the storm. It found what it looked for too many times. With the help of private investigator Elvis Cole, Pike uncovers a web of lies and betrayals, and the stunning revelation that even the cops are not who they seem. Before we put the river in that silly trough centered on a concrete plain at the bottom of those concrete walls, it flashed to life with the rain to wash away trees and houses and bridges, and cut its banks to breed new channels almost as if it was looking for people to kill. Taking matters into his own hands, Joe drops off the gird with Larkin and follows his own survival rules: strike fast, hit hard, hunt down the hunters. They don't know that we put the river in concrete to save ourselves they don't know that the river is small because it's sleeping, and that every year and sometimes more it wakes. People who don't know the truth of it make fun of our river all they see is a tortured trickle that snakes along a concrete gutter like some junkie's vein. This book, however, deals primarily with Pike as hes called in.
