In his major New York Times bestseller, The Last
Detective,
Robert Crais returned to his signature characters, private
investigator
Elvis Cole and his enigmatic partner, Joe Pike. Now Crais
delivers a
stunning, edge-of-your-seat suspense novel that leads Elvis
to the very
thing he’s always searched for-- the dark secrets of his
own life--as
well as a brutal killer determined to stop
him.
Los
Angeles, 3:58 a.m.: Elvis Cole receives the phone call he’s
been
waiting for since childhood. Responding to a gunshot, the
LAPD has
found an injured man in an alleyway. He has told the
officer on the
scene that he is looking for his son, Elvis Cole. Minutes
later, the
man is dead.
Haunted throughout his life by a lack
of knowledge
about his father, Elvis turns to the one person who can
help him
navigate the minefield of his past-- his longtime partner
and confidant,
Joe Pike. Together with hard-edged LAPD detective, Carol
Starkey, they
launch a feverish search for the dead man’s identity--even
as Elvis
struggles between wanting to believe he’s found his father
at last and
allowing his suspicions to hold him back. With each long-
buried clue
they unearth, a frightening picture begins to emerge about
who the dead
man might have been and the terrible secret he’s been
guarding.
At
the same time, Elvis has no way of knowing he has awakened
a sleeping
monster. The further he goes in his investigation, the
closer he draws
to a merciless killer who is violently connected to the
unidentified
man’s past. This psychopath believes Cole is hunting him,
and he goes
on the attack to find Elvis before Elvis can find
him.
Summoning all the powerful elements that have
made Robert Crais one of the preeminent crime writers
today, The Forgotten Man is a spectacular tour-de-
force of suspense and intrigue.
