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.

Industry Reviews
"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."
Booklist Upfront - Wes Lukowsky

"[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)

"A potent mix of sound detection, black humor, cut-and-run action, sensitive-male flapdoodle, and half a dozen first-class surprises. Welcome back, Elvis." (starred review)
Kirkus (12/15/2005)
