Peter and Rina are delighted with their newborn baby girl, but the scene at the Los Angeles hospital is a nightmare. Budget cutbacks and staff shortages so compromise security in the nursery that Peter, the ever-anxious cop, worries about his family's safety. Then a baby is kidnapped and a respected nurse vanishes along with her. Peter, his tough-talking partner Marge, and Peter's eager older daughter Cindy pursue a twisted path of hospital politics, misplaced passions, and tortuous mind games of guilt and redemption that bring them face-to-face with the most grievous sin. . . .

De diamantenhandelaar Arik Yalom en zijn hele familie verdwijnen spoorloos uit hun villa in Los Angeles. Niets in het huis wijst op geweld. Toch kan detective Peter Decker van de moordcommissie Los Angeles het gevoel niet van zich afschudden dat er iets niet klopt. Eerste onbegrijpelijke sporen duiken op. Dan verdwijnt een andere diamantenhandelaar in New York en wordt kort daarna dood aangetroffen. Het slachtoffer is de echtgenoot van Rina Lazarus' vriendin Honey Klein, die onverwacht op bezoek is gekomen. Honey is duidelijk erg van streek, maar weigert over haar problemen te praten. Voordat Decker zijn huisgast het vreselijke nieuws uit New York kan vertellen, wordt Honeys auto verlaten aan de kant van de weg gevonden. Wat begint als een zaak van vermiste families, verandert voor Peter Decker en Rina Lazarus in een moordjacht door de wereld van de miljardenswaardige edelsteenindustrie, die hen tot in Israël leidt. Pas wanneer de duistere schaduwen van het verleden zich daar beginnen op te helderen, kan Decker een van de meest geraffineerde moordzaken van zijn carrière oplossen.

Rina Lazarus is als vor den Kopf geschlagen wanneer ze hoort dat er een schandelijke aanslag is gepleegd op de kleine synagoge waar zij en haar familie lid van zijn. De muren zijn besmeurd met antijoodse leuzen, de vloer ligt vol racistische pamfletten en de kostbare boeken zijn gescheurd en bevuild. Peter Decker, Rina's man en commissaris bij de politie van Los Angeles, begint routinematig met het onderzoek. Dergelijke misdaden maken deel uit van zijn dagelijks werk. Al snel komt hij Ernesto Golding op het spoor, een jonge man uit een welgestelde familie, die zich na enige weerstand bekent. Als motief noemt Ernesto de afschuw over zijn Joodse grootvader, die naar verluidt een nazi zou zijn geweest. Ernestos vriendin Lisa zaait echter sterke twijfels bij Decker over deze versie van de gebeurtenissen. Wanneer Ernesto enige tijd later het slachtoffer wordt van een moordaanslag, moet Peter Decker beseffen dat de zaak hem veel meer aangaat dan hij tot nu toe wilde erkennen. Zijn eigen stiefzoon Jacob lijkt diep verstrikt te zijn in een web van dubieuze praktijken. En zijn leven is in gevaar.

Rechercheur Peter Decker denkt in het schijnsel van de koplampen van zijn auto iets vreemds te zien. Hij ontdekt een tweejarig meisje dat langs de kant van de weg zit. Hoewel haar lichaam bedekt is met bloed, mankeert het kind verder niets. Niemand lijkt het meisje te missen of te kennen, maar Peter weet dat ze ergens familie moet hebben – of hebben gehad... Als zijn vriendin Rina Lazaris korte tijd later terugkomt uit New York, zit Peter tot over zijn oren in de zaak. Het bloed op de pyjama van het meisje blijkt afkomstig te zijn van vier verschillende mensen, en de peuter zit ook nog eens onder de bijensteken. Het onderzoek leidt naar het huis van een imker-familie en daar treffen ze een gruwelijk tafereel aan: de lichamen van vier vermoorde mensen, die duidelijk al een paar dagen in de hitte liggen…

Familienbande können belastend sein. Als Peter Decker von einem Mordfall in New York erfährt, kann er der Bitte seines Halbbruders Jonathan, bei den Ermittlungen zu helfen, nicht widerstehen. Zusammen mit seiner Frau Rina und Tochter Hannah reist er nach New York, wo die örtlichen Beamten seine Anwesenheit als störend empfinden. Doch die New Yorker Kollegen sind nicht das größte Hindernis. Der Fall ist merkwürdig: Jonathans Schwager Ephraim wurde erschossen, und seine 15-jährige Nichte Shaynda ist spurlos verschwunden. Die besorgten Eltern verweigern Decker die Unterstützung und halten wichtige Informationen zurück. Auch die Familie des Opfers und die Gemeinde der orthodoxen Juden wissen mehr, als sie preisgeben wollen. In seiner verzweifelten Suche nach Hinweisen wendet sich Decker an Chris Donatti, den gewalttätigen Sohn eines Mafia-Bosses, der in dunkle Geschäfte verwickelt ist. Mit Donattis Hilfe kommt Decker der Wahrheit näher, doch der Preis ist hoch, da Donatti eigene Rechnungen mit Decker und seiner Frau offen hat. Faye Kellerman entwickelt in dieser spannenden Geschichte einen Plot, der auf präzisen Dialogen und Beobachtungen basiert, und beleuchtet die Konflikte zwischen orthodoxen Lebensweisen und einer profitgetriebenen Kultur. Decker und Rina Lazarus agieren als sympathische Hauptfiguren, während Donatti als irritierender Gegenpol auftritt.

Brooklyn is nu niet meteen Peter Deckers eerste keus om zijn huwelijksreis met Rina door te brengen. En toch bevindt hij zich daar, in de krappe behuizing van de ouders van Rina's overleden eerste man. Vanwege de joodse feestdagen besluit Peter er maar het beste van te maken. Maar de feestelijke stemming slaat al snel om wanneer blijkt dat Noam, een neefje van Rina, van huis is weggelopen. Normaal gesproken is het vinden van weggelopen jongeren een van Deckers specialiteiten, maar de gesloten orthodox-joodse gemeenschap van Brooklyn sluit Peter volkomen buiten. En het helpt ook niet dat Noam verre van geliefd is.

Throughout his years with the LAPD, Peter Decker has handled a number of tough cases and strange killers. But few of his previous assignments compare to his latest case. When Hobart Penny is found dead in his apartment, the cops think that his pet cat—an adult female tiger—attacked the reclusive elderly billionaire. But it soon becomes clear that the beast that killed the eccentric inventor is all too human. Digging into the victim's life, Decker and his colleagues discover that Penny was an exceptionally peculiar man with exotic tastes, including kinky sex with call girls. Following a trail of clues that leads from a wildlife sanctuary in the San Bernardino Mountains to the wild nightlife of Las Vegas, the LAPD detectives are left juggling too many suspects and too few answers. To break open the case, Decker wrestles with a difficult choice: turning to Chris Donatti, the dangerous man who also happens to be the father of Decker's foster son, Gabriel Whitman. As their work and intimate worlds collide, Decker and his wife, Rina, find themselves facing tough questions. And when all these shocking truths comes out, exactly how well will Decker and Rina cope, and survive?

The twenty-third book in the hugely popular Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus series from New York Times bestselling author Faye Kellerman

The gripping new crime novel in the Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus series from New York Times bestselling author Faye Kellerman. They thought the murders were over. But now theres a new victim

A man walks into a trendy Los Angeles restaurant -- a disgruntled ex-employee with an automatic weapon -- and seconds later, thirteen people are dead and thirty-two more have been wounded. It is a heinous act of mass slaughter that haunts Homicide Detective Peter Decker. But, though eyewitnesses saw only the lone gunman -- who apparently took his own life after his bloody work was done -- evidence suggests more than one weapon was fired. It is a disturbing inconsistency that sends Decker racing headlong into a sordid, labyrinthine world of Southern California money and power, on an investigation that threatens to destroy his reputation and his career.

The cruel and bizarre slaying of a beautiful teen leads Detective Decker into the dark heart of an exotic subculture: the seamy, sometimes violent world of Southern California's rootless, affluent youth. But even the confession of a disturbed kid with cold "killer eyes" cannot soothe Decker's inner torment. For he knows in his gut this crime goes much deeper and higher than anyone expects -- and that true justice, brutal and complete, has yet to be done.

Dr Azor Sparks's genius saves lives, he is also a pillar of the local evangelical church and a committed family man. So who would want to murder him? The answer, Lieutenant Peter Decker soon concludes, is a lot of people.
