A new Lazarus/Decker book by Faye Kellerman was supposed to come out in late 2020. I can’t find it anywhere?
Not sure which book you are referring to but the list above is accurate.
As I said it was supposed to be published late last year, latest book in Peter Decker – Rina Lazurus Series. Don’t know if Covid derailed it. I believe it was to be called The Hunt, A Novel.
It’s possible it was derailed – it’s currently scheduled for August of this year.
I just sort of finished “The Forgotten”. I got about 2/3 through and skipped to the end just so i could say I finished it before I returned it to the library. the only other book I have done this with is a Scapetta book I hated so much I can’t recall the name of it. I liked the first and can say you can skip the rest up to the Merecdes Coffin.
Could you please let me know where ‘Cold Case’ fits into the Decker/Lazarus series? Thank you.
It was also published as The Mercedes Coffin.
Thank you.
