But I did like the who done it and the action involved with resolving it. I thought the two main characters involvement a little strange. I did have a problem with the stereotyping bikers as all criminals but many people have this belief. Definitley had me wanting to know what happened next. " Somewhat predictable at times although enjoyable " - Jeanine, This one was a very tangled, very good mystery to work through, as well as getting to see the tension rachetting up between Peter and Rina in their ongoing, rather troubled, courtship. " The early Peter Decker/Rina Lazarus novels are still the best of the lot. This sweet little Jewish girl can really dream up some grisly murders! " - Robert, " Been around awhile, but a good whodunit from an excellent crime writer. Kept me enthralled enough to finish it in less than 24 hours! Enjoy! " - Rosie, The characters are genuine and quite likeable. This is the third in the series and the quality improves as they go along. Although the books can be read as stand alones, they are much better when read in sequence. " I am really getting hooked on this series. Faye Kellerman using a lot of detail in her writing and many references to Judaism. Overall Performance: Narration Rating: Story Rating:.What a prize! But we, oops, I mean she loves him so." And things move along for Decker and his Orthodox babe, Rina-although, if I were Rina, I'd start having second and third thoughts about him: last book he'd showed up on her doorstep drunk and horny and another time with an infected bite on his arm from a hooker, and now he has a scuzzy friend and goes a little bit 'Nam on her, not to mention he works long hours and is tight-lipped about his job. Decker's past when he helps an old army buddy from 'Nam accused of a crime he said he didn't commit. 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. But his trail is leading him to a killing ground where four bodies lie still and lifeless. Obsessed more deeply by this case than he imagined possible, Decker is determined to follow the scant clues to an answer. 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. 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.
