About this audiobook

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...

Ratings and reviews

A Decker/Rina book but had almost nothing to do w/ them. It was way more 50 shades than an actual mystery novel like the rest of Faye Kellerman's books.

I have loved this series for years. It breaks my heart to never get to experience a next installment, or continue to follow the lives of the Decker clan. I cried as I listened to the last five minutes, and thought about Gabe. After all these years, you forget that these are fictional characters, since they feel more like friends and family. Thank you, Faye for all the years of enjoyment, and all the lessons on Judaism. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
