Synopsis

In the silent pre-dawn city hours -- alone with his thoughts about Rina Lazarus, the woman he loves, three thousand miles away in New York -- LAPD detective Peter Decker finds a small child, abandoned and covered in blood that is not hers. It is a sobering discovery, and a perplexing one, for nobody in the development where she was found steps forward to claim the little girl. Obsessed more deeply by this case than he imagined possible, Decker is determined to follow the scant clues to an answer. But his trail is leading him to a killing ground where four bodies lie still and lifeless. And by the time Rina returns, Peter Decker is already held fast in a sticky mass of hatred, passion, and murder -- in a world where intense sweetness is accompanied by a deadly sting.

About Faye Kellerman

Mystery author, Faye Kellerman, not only writes amazing, best-selling mysteries, but is married to famous author, Jonathan Kellerman. The pair of authors is the only married couple to have been on The New York Times best seller list at the same time. An awesome accomplishment for sure. And, to make it even better, their oldest child, Jesse Kellerman is a best-selling novelist and award winning playwright. Their youngest, a daughter, Aliza Kellerman, co-wrote Prism, a novel for young adults, with her mother. Keeping it in the family.

Faye Kellerman's early history is a very interesting one. She actually received a B.A. in mathematics, and then earned her Doctorate of Dental Surgery. Even though she fully intended to be a dentist, she never practiced even one day in the dental profession. She first became a housewife and mother, then developed her writing career.

Faye Kellerman has well over twenty million copies of her novels in circulation. The Decker/Lazarus thrillers are among her most successful works. They include such titles as: Sacred and Profane; Milk and Honey; Day of Atonement; Justice; Prayers for the Dead, and many others. She has also received awards for her collection of short stories. As if all that writing and creating were not enough, she also has hobbies of gardening, sewing, and jogging. She has four children, and lives in Los Angeles and Santa Fe.

Upon being asked how an educated Dentist becomes an accomplished, award winning author, she said it was... a desire for justice, a suspicious nature, an overactive imagination, and of course, a penchant for the bizarre.

Goodreads review by M. on March 02, 2013

This the third Faye Kellerman book that I have read. By this time I have discovered that the series is more about a man and a woman from two different cultures and with two different sets of emotional baggage who happen to love one another and are trying to build a life together than it is about "wh......more

You know, even for a cop Peter Decker's life is...fast moving. Even on a night drive in a quiet neighborhood things will seemingly search out Peter and draw him into tragic events. Here Peter comes across a blood spattered toddler wandering a residential neighborhood in the dead of night. From there h......more

Goodreads review by Cupof on July 22, 2013

The side story of Decker's past is more interesting than the actual case he is working on in this novel. Murder on a bee farm could be engrossing, but somehow it is just confusing and not a satisfying conclusion. I'm glad that I am reading these in order because I find the romance between Peter and......more

Goodreads review by Diane on December 24, 2018

Not a bad installment in the Decker and Lazarus series. Still on a learning curve. Decker is a good cop and a decent human being until his anger pokes through - something that he has to come to terms with and learn to control. A complicated murder mystery with red herrings thrown in. The bee/honey ind......more

Goodreads review by Chris on March 13, 2019

2.5 stars. I liked the characters, but I felt Kellerman was trying to shove too much into this story. The story revolving around Decker and his Vietnam War best friend Abel could have been a novel all on its own. A lot of baggage to unpack in addition to solving an assault & rape case that Abel has......more
