Publisher's summary

Rina Lazarus and her husband, LAPD Homicide Lieutenant Peter Decker, are shocked by an outrage that cuts close to the spiritual heart of their family. Rina's small storefront synagogue has been desecrated with anti-Semitic graffiti and grisly Nazi death camp photographs. The alleged perpetrator is 17-year-old Ernesto Golding, a "rich kid" obsessed with haunting suspicions about the origins of his Polish paternal grandfather.

Then Ernesto is found brutally murdered, along with his therapist, Dr. Mervin Baldwin, at an exclusive nature camp that caters to moneyed, troubled children. For Decker and his wife, unraveling the truth behind Ernesto's violent death becomes more terrifying with each sinister twist. For lethal secrets with roots in the horrors of a past genteration are coming to the surface, propelling Peter and Rina into a ghastly world of ruthless parents and damaged youth - and toward a dark evil and its ultimate retribution.

Great Series

Would you consider the audio edition of The Forgotten to be better than the print version?

I prefer the audio since my eyesight isn't as good as it used to be and I can listen while I work. that's a big PLUS for me. This is a good series.

Another Winner

All of the outstanding Decker/Lazarus features are present: great characters, a complex plot, excitement. Rina’s compassion is especially heartwarming. Jacob is fascinating in this book. I give my usual kudos to Mitch Greenberg for the narration.

Good Overall

It was very interesting.

I have loved them all so far!

So far i have read up to book #12 and have loved them all. I can't wait to read the rest in the series.

Good but predictable for the most part.

The book was good but I more enjoy a book that keeps me questing, this wasn't that type of book for me. Did have a good story though.

a return to normal

After the last book I wondered if perhaps this series had run its course. Luckily I gave it one more chance and I am glad that I did because The Forgotten is a return to what I love most about the series: an exploration of the characters and their unique and interesting lives. Rina is front and center where she belongs. Peter is the hard-working and intelligent cop I love. The mystery is there too, but more importantly, the characters I love are there.
