Book description
Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus face a familiar sociopath in this
electrifying tale of suspense from New York Times bestselling author
Faye Kellerman.
When LAPD Lieutenant Peter Decker reluctantly agrees to do a big favour
for old friend Teresa McLaughlin, he knows that his involvement will
bring her sociopathic husband, Chris Donatti, back into his life. But
then Terry goes missing and Donatti disappears, leaving their
14-year-old son Gabe behind.
Meanwhile Adrianna Blanc, a party-loving nurse, is found swinging from
the rafters of a house in a wealthy suburban area. Her last phone call
announced she was breaking up with her philandering boyfriend and Decker
questions whether it was in fact suicide.
With lives hanging in the balance, Decker and his team need to find
answers fast. At home matters are just as precarious: while Decker and
his wife Rina Lazarus want to look after young Gabe, with Donatti on the
loose, no one is really ever safe… Praise for Faye Kellerman:
