Description

A man walks into a trendy Los Angeles restaurant — a disgruntled ex-employee with an automatic weapon — and seconds later, thirteen people are dead and thirty-two more have been wounded. It is a heinous act of mass slaughter that haunts Homicide Detective Peter Decker.

But, though eyewitnesses saw only the lone gunman — who apparently took his own life after his bloody work was done — evidence suggests more than one weapon was fired. It is a disturbing inconsistency that sends Decker racing headlong into a sordid, labyrinthine world of Southern California money and power, on an investigation that threatens to destroy his reputation and his career.

        September 1, 1997
        Layering crisis upon crisis, Kellerman builds a page-turner in this 10th Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus novel, which, like previous titles in the series (most recently Prayers for the Dead), is based on a complex, carefully established network of relationships. A former employee of a ritzy restaurant opens fire there, killing 13 people and wounding dozens; then he commits suicide. Or so it seems, until LAPD Lieutenant Peter Decker and his team spot inconsistencies. Fatal bullets came from several directions; a single gunman could not have sprayed so many shots; and one murdered couple left an estate worth millions. Decker suspects their daughter, Jeanine Garrison, a beautiful but manipulative charity organizer with penchants for power and handsome young tennis players. He connects her with a suspected killer, but she pressures police brass to back off and then hits the detective with a bogus sexual harassment complaint. When a mysterious drug overdose kills her brother, Jeanine gets the entire inheritance. While Decker struggles with the murders (the grisly killings trigger Vietnam flashbacks) and departmental politics, his older daughter from his first marriage, Cindy, decides to become a cop. Decker is appalled, but Cindy's ambition could help crack the case. Decker's wife, Rina Lazarus, stands on the sidelines here, trying to smooth relations between their Orthodox Jewish household and Decker's adoptive Baptist family, until it's she who makes use of her husband's past to reveal the final piece of the puzzle. Lots of action, an intricate plot and credible, multi-dimensional characters make this another standout entry in an evolving series. 175,000 first printing; major ad/promo.

      • content: An enraged former employee commits mass murder and then shoots himself at Estelle's, a trendy Los Angeles cafĂ©. LAPD detective Peter Decker grows to suspect the case is not as open-and-shut as it first appears. His investigation reveals some messy motives and a complex series of connections leading back to the massacre. George Guidall's performance is convincing, whether Decker is interrogating suspects at the Greenvale Country Club or, in off-the-job moments, sitting in his own kosher kitchen. Decker's wife, Rina, glows with earthy warmth, and his daughter grows up before his eyes as she decides to become a law enforcement professional. Guidall's narration catches every nuance. As bad girl Janine, his voice alternately oozes and scratches. His style and tone provide just the right touches to Faye Kellerman's introspective characters, original plotting, and engrossing storytelling. S.J.H. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine

      • content: Detective Peter Decker flashes back to Vietnam upon entering the scene of a mass murder in an upscale L.A. restaurant. Jay O. Sanders conveys not only Peter's very human discomfort, but that of his queasy staff. Sanders's slight changes in intonation clearly differentiate the many speakers involved in the investigation. He believably portrays Rhonda, a whining ex-girlfriend, as well as Decker's patient, loving wife, Rina. Adolescents--Decker's sons and the high-schoolers possibly involved in murder--are equally credible. In a deft abridgment, Sanders holds the listener captive to the finish. R.N.
