Newly retired from the Ferndale, Michigan, police department, Martin Preuss passes his days quietly with his beloved son Toby. When a friend asks him to look for a boy who disappeared forty years ago, the former investigator gradually becomes consumed with finding the forgotten child. Meanwhile, ex-colleague Janey Cahill persuades him to help her locate the missing father of a troubled young girl. Juggling both cases, Preuss revisits the countercultural fervor of Detroit in the 1970s as well as a terrible disaster in his hometown--and plunges into hidden worlds of guilty secrets and dark crimes that won’t stay buried.

“An engaging, emotional thriller that skillfully blends past and present.” —Elizabeth Heiter, award-winning author of The Profiler series, on the fourth Preuss mystery, THE FORGOTTEN CHILD.
