In Portland, Oregon, the wives of several prominent
businessmen have disappeared without a trace, leaving behind
only a black rose and a note with a simple message: “Gone,
But Not Forgotten.”
An identical series of disappearances occurred in Hunter’s
Point, New York, ten years ago—but the killer was caught,
the case was closed and the special “rose killer” task force
was disbanded.
Betsy Tannenbaum, a Portland wife and mother who has gained
national recognition as a feminist defense attorney, is
retained by multimillionaire Portland developer Martin
Darius—for no apparent reason.
Nancy Gordon, a homicide detective for the Hunter’s Point
Police Department and an original member of the “rose
killer” task force, hasn’t slept a full night in ten years,
haunted by nightmares of a sadistic killer who, she swears,
is still out there. . .
Alan Page, the Portland district attorney, trying to make
sense of the sudden series of disappearances, opens his
front door one evening to find Nancy Gordon on his
doorstep—determined to tell him a story he won’t soon forget.
Across the country, in Washington, D.C., the President of
the United States has just selected United States Senator
Raymond Colby to be the next Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court. In a private meeting, Colby assures the President
there are no skeletons in his closet.
Complex, utterly compelling, and brilliantly executed,
GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN is a book that truly lives up
to its extraordinary advance praise: Once begun it simply
cannot be put down.
