Synopsis
LA private investigator Elvis Cole searches for the key to his own past in this 10th installment in the series starring the so-called World's Greatest Detective. A man with no ID, dying of a gunshot wound in an alley, tells the cop who finds him that he's Elvis Cole's father. Elvis can't verify this because he never knew the man who impregnated his mentally ill mother, but he commences on a postmortem investigation, hoping to ferret out the man's identity and discover if what he said is true. Meanwhile, Elvis is being tracked down himself--by a disturbed pump jockey who thinks Elvis murdered his missing boss.

Publisher's Note
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.
Industry Reviews
"[THE FORGOTTEN MAN] blends high-powered action, a commanding cast and a touch of dark humor to excellent dramatic effect....[T]his character-driven series continues to be strong in plot, action and pacing, and Crais...boasts a distinctive knack for a sucker-punch element of surprise."
Publishers Weekly (01/24/2005)
"Very few thrillers leave readers with teary vision, pondering such profundities as acceptance and forgiveness. This is one of the few. A deeply moving, heartfelt mystery."
