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. . . .

Wanneer een politieman in Los Angeles midden in de nacht een tweejarig meisje op straat vindt, gaat hij koortsachtig op zoek naar haar ouders.

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.

LAPD detective Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus confront their most shocking case when they investigate the murder of Father Jupiter, leader of a notorious cult, the order of the Rings of God.

Detective Peter Decker and his wife Rina Lazarus have moved from the chaos of LA to the quiet beauty of upstate New York. But Decker's new job is not exactly fulfilling, and his arrogant young partner is getting on his nerves. Just when he thinks he's made a mistake, Decker is called to a break-in at the local cemetery. Then, a student at one of the exclusive local colleges is brutally murdered. The investigation draws Decker deep into a web of dark secrets, long-buried crimes and ruthless killers. Suddenly, the job is anything but boring, and Decker will have to draw on his vast experience to bring the truth to light.

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?
