Robert Crais always writes a pretty good book and The Forgotten Man [ISBN 978 1 4072 1094 0] is just that – our hero Elvis Cole has a patchy kind of life throughout the novels and this book is no exception. The plot is excellent, and narrative moves along revealing snippets at the right time.

The body of an oldish man is found in a seedy alley – and in his pocket a series of newspaper articles about Elvis Cole- and before he died he told the police he was Elvis’s father. Abandoned as a child his mother told Elvis that his father was a human cannonball so he followed circuses to find him – now how can this man be his father ? Elvis and Joe begin to track down this man who appears to have had several names – and, of course, unwittingly get into danger. |
