Synopsis

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.

Faye Kellerman lives with her husband, New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman, in Los Angeles, California, and Santa Fe, New Mexico.

From AudioFile:

Detective Peter Decker flashes back to Vietnam upon entering the scene of a mass murder in an upscale L.A. restaurant. Jay O. Sanders conveys not only Peter's very human discomfort, but that of his queasy staff. Sanders's slight changes in intonation clearly differentiate the many speakers involved in the investigation. He believably portrays Rhonda, a whining ex-girlfriend, as well as Decker's patient, loving wife, Rina. Adolescents--Decker's sons and the high-schoolers possibly involved in murder--are equally credible. In a deft abridgment, Sanders holds the listener captive to the finish. R.N.
