Product Description
A 3 A.M. phone call summons LAPD homicide detective Peter Decker to the well-fortified Coyote Ranch compound of billionaire developer Guy Kaffey. A grisly scene awaits: Kaffey and his wife dead, gunned down, along with four employees. A philanthropist known for extending second chances to delinquents—many of whom he had hired for his personal security—the wealthy businessman died very terribly in what had to be an inside job. Perhaps even deeper inside than anyone imagines.
At first, the darkness enveloping this horrific multiple murder cannot touch Decker’s wife, Rina Lazarus, who’s serving on a jury in an L.A. courthouse. But a chance meeting and a request for help from a court translator are leading Rina straight into the heart of her spouse’s investigation—and directly into the path of relentless, cold-blooded killers.

This is the first Faye Kellerman book I’ve read, so I can’t comment on how it measures up to others in the Decker/Lazarus series; it stands on its own well enough that not having read the prior books was not a problem. I’m not Jewish, Orthodox or otherwise, but the religious references didn’t seem to me to be overdone as they did to some reviewers. The tale line was appealing and the cracking of the case by Decker and his staff was generally believable. [SPOILER FOLLOWS] One thing that was unbelievable to me was Grant’s transformation at the end from a bombastic jerk to a likeable, sensitive guy; yes, I know he was all stressed out earlier by what had happened to his family tree, but this just didn’t ring right.
But, this book could have used stronger editing; I establish it reasonably sloppy. The main Kaffey family tree compound (additional than ranch) mysteriously moves from “Palos Verdes Peninsula” to Newport Beach, which are many miles apart and not even in the same county; if the compound had been on the Palos Verdes peninsula (a geographic feature), the speaker would have likely located it by the name of one of the four cities there (Rancho Palos Verdes, Palos Verdes Estates, etc.). Joe Pine’s name in Spanish would not be Pinon; maybe she was thinking of Piñon, which means pine nut, or Pino, which covers some pine trees. I lived in the LA area for most of my life and permanently heard anglos call people from El Salvador Salvadorans, not El Salvadorians. Probably the man who cared for the horses should have been called a groom, not a groomer (a name who grooms dogs and cats) or a groomsman (an attendant of the groom at a fancy wedding). A name who lives in a name else’s house is a boarder, not a border (“but I ran SpellCheck”). LAPD’s Rampart Division is not the Ramparts Division. Decker’s reference to the “double murder” and then correcting himself to “triple murder,” make no sense agreed the large pile of bodies at the crime scene. I’m sure Kellerman’s reference to cholos in her own voice (i.e., not the voice of one of the characters) would be offensive to Hispanic readers. Another reviewer mentioned the inconsistent career of one of Rina’s fellow jurors, which I also noticed; the same exchange also seemed to say that Rina was a teacher, which I didn’t see elsewhere (is it in another book?–in this one, she seems not to be employed?). And, what on planet is a “half-baked potato”?–an undercooked baked potato?

This was a excellent detective tale which will have you wondering who did it all the way to the end. Well written and excellent dialoge. Just an enjoyable read.

i have read the majority of Faye Kellerman’s books and just don’t feel this was her best effort.
