Synopsis

An Abandoned Baby. A Missing Mother. But Innocence has a Fighting Chance. While on routine patrol, LAPD Officer Cindy Decker rescues a newborn from an alley Dumpster. But she can't call it a night until she sees the infant safe in a hospital, cared for by a professional-in this case a male nurse with soulful eyes and lots of charm. Now the hunt is on for the mother. Armed with advice from her overworked father, Detective Peter Decker, Cindy plunges into her inner-city Hollywood district, a world of helpless people and violent gangs. Pursuing each new lead batters her complex relationships and endangers her life. On one side: Decker and Decker, a brilliant but combative pair. On the other: a vicious killer ready to strike again.

About this title

From AudioFile:

Kellerman's original series about LAPD Detective Peter Decker has given birth to a new generation in which daughter Cindy follows in dad's footsteps. In this second of the series, young Decker finds a baby in a dumpster. Her search for the baby's parents leads to a developmentally disabled mother who was raped, a father who may have been murdered, and a gang that wants to get Decker off the case by putting her permanently out of commission. Still, Decker finds time to meet a near-perfect man, have wild sex, and deal with personal issues. Decker is fully realized through Nancy McKeon's characterization. Other characters are strongly individualized, and McKeon's Ethiopian accent, when called upon, is lovely. Yes, it does seem too good to be true, but who cares? It's all deeply satisfying.
