But it soon becomes apparent that not everyone is as eagerfor Decker's assistance as Jonathan--not the New York City cops, not the missinggirl's parents, and not the police chief in the upstate town of Quinton, wherethe Liebers live in a tightly knit Orthodox Jewish enclave. Despite theseroadblocks, the ever resourceful Decker manages to locate Shayndie in the lastplace one might expect to find a devout, gently raised 15-year old girl--theheavily guarded Manhattan apartment of Chris Donatti, a Mob-connected criminalwith whom Peter has a complicated history. But when Shayndie runs away fromDonatti's loft and turns up dead a few days later, Decker's search for herkiller uncovers a deadly family secret that puts his life--and Rina's--injeopardy. As usual in this outstanding series, Kellerman's pacing is flawless,her plotting ingenious, and her deep understanding of human nature reconfirmed.--Jane Adams

FAYE KELLERMAN is the author of the bestselling Peter Decker/Rina Lazarus novels, as well as a thriller, Moon Music, and a historical novel, The Quality of Mercy. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Jonathan Kellerman, and their children.
When Peter Decker's half-brother, Jonathan, calls with the news that his brother-in-law has been murdered and his niece is missing, everything starts to go wrong. Rina and Peter Decker travel to New York City to solve these mysteries. Dennis Boutsikaris twists and weaves through a world of religious Jews and not-so-honest New Yorkers, never skipping a beat. With a practiced air, he nimbly switches between credible accents and recognizable pronunciations of Hebrew and Yiddish words. As the action heats up, the Deckers capably deal with murder, psychopaths, and angry family. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

There has been a murder in Jonathan's family; his brother-in-law, a Hassidic Jew and former drug addict, was found naked in a seedy Manhattan hotel, a single gunshot wound to his head. And his niece, fifteen-year-old Shaynda, is missing. In a desperate bid to track down the missing girl, Decker finds himself in an alien city and a maze of deceit and danger, on a twisted journey that takes him from the darkened slums of New Jersey and the deserted industrial streets of New York, to the hidden meeting places of Hassidic outcasts. *** Quantity Available: 1.
