Publisher Description

Detective Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus return to Los
Angeles when a kidnapping hits close to home—in this breathtaking new thriller
from New York Times bestselling author Faye Kellerman.

Peter and
his partner, Detective Tyler McAdams, are thrown into an unsolved case and
propelled into action when a body is found in the very woods where a man
previously went missing in upstate New York.

But that’s
not the only crisis that Peter has to deal with.

Teresa
McLaughlin, the biological mother of Peter and his wife Rina’s foster son,
Gabe, has fled to Los Angeles with her two children in tow, hoping to avoid a
court injunction amid a messy divorce. But LA is no escape from her problems—she
is found by ruthless men and beaten mercilessly. When she wakes, barely
conscious, Teresa discovers that both of her children are gone and frantically
calls Gabe for help.

With his
mother on the verge of death, Gabe contacts Peter and Rina, as well as his
biological father, the notorious Christopher Donatti, a former hit man from a
known criminal family who’s now a millionaire in Nevada. By bringing Donatti
into the fray, Gabe, Peter, and Rina know they have made a deal with the devil—but
they may not be able to recover the kids without him.

As these
unlikely allies rally to find the kidnappers before things end tragically, they
race headlong toward an explosive confrontation from which no one will emerge unscathed...

Unbelievable!

What a book! Some of the sex was too graphic but I also understand why it was needed to explain the relationship between Terry and Chris. I can’t wait to see what happens next for the Decker family!

The Culmination of the Deckers

This book finally tied all the interwoven lives of the Decker family and Chris Donatti and Terri together. If you’ve read all the Decker books, you’ll really love this one. It put the finishing touches on their lives. It fleshes out the personality of Chris Donatti so you can see the adult he finally becomes. I loved it!

I love this Series but…

I felt that the main Decker/Lazarus plot that carried over from the previous book was boring. No real surprises. Obvious that Kellerman was no longer interested in the pair so many of us have long loved. I always enjoyed the Jewish foods and preparations but in this book Peter just ate many, many bagels.

The other plot was a bit odd. It had to be at least somewhat in the vain it was given that it was Chris Donnati. It badly needed the Editor. So repetitive in discussing the abusive situations Terry was put in. It shouldn’t have tried so hard to make excuses for it.

I won’t ruin the ending, but I will say it was totally unnecessary and I feel truly the wrong writing/editing choice.

That said I really hope the Series will not be ended. I guess if Kellerman’s new book is very popular that is likely.
