Synopsis

When a Manhattan rabbi is brutally murdered, an LAPD officer and his wife begin a dangerous mission to save a young girl from kidnapping—and investigate a deadly new case that puts them both at great peril. Rina Lazarus has some shocking news for her husband, LAPD Lieutenant Peter Decker. A horrible murder has occurred in the family of his half-brother, Rabbi Jonathan Levin. The rabbi’s brother-in-law was found slain in a seedy hotel room in upper Manhattan, and the victim’s 15-year-old niece, with whom he was spending the day, is missing. Decker, with Rina at his side, immediately heads out to New York to assist in the investigation. But what starts out as simple inquiries soon evolves into a twisted and perilous journey—from the darkened slums of New Jersey and the deserted industrial streets of New York to the recesses of sexual perversity and the hidden meeting places of Hasidic outcasts. Thrust into a deadly maze of deceit, lies, and danger, the couple can no longer trust anyone—friend or family. And when salvation is finally within Decker’s grasp, it can only be delivered by a depraved lone wolf, hell-bent on his own personal vengeance.

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.

Not my favorite in this series, but mostly because the mystery wasn't very exciting. I feel like this was a way to reintroduce CD than any attempt at a cohesive novel, but I am interested to see where things go with him.......more

Goodreads review by Heather on December 21, 2018

It is now post-9/11. Hannah is nine years old; both boys are attending school on the east coast and eldest daughter Cindy isn't referenced so she's still presumably fighting crime in L.A. Having been a lieutenant now for several years, Decker has become more of a "pencil-pusher" than an active duty......more

Goodreads review by Russell on November 29, 2021

Having now read Faye Kellerman’s Stone Kiss, I am “caught up” on the Peter Decker/Rina Lazarus series, save for the newest of the novels. I may have enjoyed Stone Kiss more than any of the other novels. In this book, which comes in the middle of the series, Kellerman returns to the roots of the coll......more
