Even with a left leg shattered by a drug dealer's bullet and a medical retirement from the Detroit Police Force, former homicide captain Ed McAvoy feels he's too young to be put out to pasture. With the slower pace in the Catskills, being Chief of Police in Peekamoose Heights will be sort of like running a country club, or so he thinks. After all, how much crime can there be? McAvoy soon discovers that his skills as a homicide detective will not atrophy from lack of use in Peekamoose Heights. Murder, as it turns out, is an equal-opportunity crime that not only resides in large bustling cities like Detroit, but in sleepy little Catskill villages like Peekamoose Heights as well. In Forget Me Not, the seventh Ed McAvoy Mystery, a young reporter is found murdered in the forest near Peekamoose Heights. All indications point to the fact that he stumbled across a methamphetamine-making operation. But his current assignment had nothing to do with drugs. He was supposed to be writing a puff piece about German WWII POWs held in the area who had returned there to live after being repatriated. However, the reporter's girlfriend comes forward with a computer flash drive that shows he was actually working on an article about a fifteen-year-old disappearance of a mob informant. Almost immediately thereafter, the girlfriend disappears. And, there are known mobsters sniffing around the crime scene. Before McAvoy can begin to answer the question of 'Who murdered the reporter?' he must sort through the various theories of 'Why was the reporter murdered?'
