The Forgotten Man<\/a><\/em> (2005) Robert Crais<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Synopsis<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Lucy is gone, and Elvis is struggling to keep himself together. The events of the last book made him the center of attention, and the notoriety is something he seems ill equipped to deal with, especially while also attempting to deal with his loss. <\/p>\n

When Elvis is called in because a seemingly homeless man carrying copies of articles about Cole claims in his dying breath to be Cole’s father, Elvis has to discover the truth, even if he doesn’t believe the dead man could be his father.<\/p>\n

We again learn more of Elvis’ past, from his childhood and how he got his name, to the problems his mother had and how he ended up a private detective.
\nRating: 8\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n
