In The Wanted, author Robert Crais takes a nerdy boy and unravels what is another get-rich scheme which has serious consequences.
A frantic mother wonders why her socially awkward son Tyson has left a few clues lying around indicating he has come into some money.
She catches him lying and contacts private investigator Elvis Cole, who will be familiar to readers of Crais' books.
Cole finds several overlapping leads to some unsolved burglaries in ritzy neighbourhoods and sets out to solve them while trying to find Tyson, the nerdy son.
The book moves at a fast pace but is uncomplicated - an ideal summer reading companion.
