Description
Broadway legend Lucy Merchant has tragically succumbed to early onset Alzheimer’s. At age fifty-six, she’s tucked away in the dementia care unit of the ultra-exclusive Manhattan care facility Park Manor. When she falls asleep and doesn’t wake up, her billionaire husband is ready for the funeral, but her daughter demands an investigation.
Only three months back on the job after cancer treatment, Codella finds herself at the center of a high profile case nearly everyone--especially her lieutenant--wants to shut down. But the forensic evidence raises alarming questions and Codella needs answers. To find them, she will have to crack the defenses of slippery administrators, frightened caregivers, and unobliging family members, all while unlocking some of her own dark memories.
Forgotten City, Carrie Smith’s gripping follow-up to Silent City, pits the unrelenting detective against a cast of diverse New Yorkers driven by their desires and ambitions and haunted by their pasts. But can she piece together the truth before the murderer kills again?

Claire Codella is a tough detective, yet as a cancer survivor she is also compassionate and vulnerable. This is an intriguing mystery featuring an Alzheimer's patient which makes it all to real and possible in today's world. The author has provided us with authentic dialogue, a widely diverse cast of characters and great descriptions of New York City which kept me engrossed from the first page to the surprising and satisfying ending.

Detective Claire Cordella is a cancer survivor who’s eager to get back to work. Her boss, lieutenant McGowan wants to keep Claire out of the public eye and out of the press after her last high-profile case. But Claire catches a big case anyway. Broadway actress Lucy Merchant, diagnosed with early onset dementia at age 56, has passed away in her sleep at a high price dementia care unit in Manhattan. While her husband seems content with the answers provided by Lucy’s caregivers, her daughter is demanding answers. This is a case that Lucy’s husband, the elite care center and a lot of city officials want to just go away. But Claire has evidence that points to Lucy’s death as anything but natural. This is one of the most engaging police procedural series being written today. Smith populates her book with real, relatable characters that readers care about
