The Monkey's Raincoat is an Elvis Cole Novel, #1 out of 18 books at total. It was published in 1987 even before I was born. So it has been an interesting trip for me through the end of '80s.
To begin wiht it's a detective novel. A thrilling one. A woman, Ellen Lang who lost her husband and her son. A detective, Elvis Cole and his sociopath partner Joe Pike. Murder and kidnapping. Beneath the iceberg lurks drug deals, Hollywood relations. There are good cops, bad cops, good guys, bad guys, strong friendships, one night stands, cheatings and so on. If you are into thrilling adventures, then you'll enjoy The Monkey's Raincoat.
