Some detectives forget their cases.

Detective Marcus Cole forgot his killer.

Eleven months ago, Marcus Cole was closing in on the truth behind the murder of Ellen Marsh - a schoolteacher found in the rain beside the Chicago River, one shoe missing, no witnesses, no answers. Cole had the evidence. He had the name.

Then a truck ran a red light on an icy expressway, and he lost everything.

Now Cole is back on the job with a scar along his temple, two fingers that won't fully close, and a six-week hole in his memory where a solved case used to live. The official file is cold. His lieutenant has moved on. His partner is buried.

But Cole hasn't forgotten that he knew.

Armed with fragments - a name beginning with R, a building with a green awning, a laugh that still makes the back of his neck prickle - he retraces his own investigation step by step, reconstructing what his mind has walled away. What he finds leads him to Richard Fallow: a quiet, careful man who has been waiting eleven months to be caught.

Because some killers run.

And some have already decided to stop.

The Detective Who Forgot the Killer is a taut, atmospheric crime novel about memory, guilt, and what a detective owes the dead - even when the mind refuses to cooperate.

Perfect for fans of Tana French, Michael Connelly, and Richard Osman.
