False Prophet: A Decker/Lazarus Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
L.A.P.D. Detective Peter Decker doesn't know quite what to make of Lilah Brecht. The beautiful, eccentric spa owner and daughter of a faded Hollywood legend, Lilah was beaten, robbed, and raped in her own home — and claims to have psychic powers that enable her to see even more devastating events looming on the horizon. With his heart and mind on his pregnant young wife, Rina Lazarus, at home, Peter finds it hard to put much credence in the victim's outrageous claims, or to become too deeply involved with her equally odd brothers and aging film star mom. But when Lilah's dark visions turn frighteningly real, Decker's world will be severely rocked — as the "false prophet's" secrets and obsessions entrap the dedicated policeman ... and point a killer toward Decker's own vulnerable family.

Starred review from July 1, 2012
This 1992 outing, which was the fifth title in Kellerman's Decker/Lazarus mystery series, finds Peter Decker investigating the robbery, brutal beating, and rape of Lilah Brecht, owner of an exclusive California spa. Lilah's three dysfunctional stepbrothers, the spa's male employees, and a mentally challenged stableman become the prime suspects. As Peter's investigation unfurls, his pregnant wife, Rina, continues to coach him in Jewish practice and his relationship with her children grows warmer. MitchellGreenberg ably brings the characters to life. His intonation and regional accents convey each character's distinct personality. VERDICT Recommended for all Kellerman and mystery fans. ["Full attention to detail and characterization caps a masterful effort. Another great escape," read the review of the Morrow hc, "LJ" 7/92.--Ed.]--Ilka Gordon, Siegal Coll. of Judaic Studies Lib., ClevelandCopyright 2012 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
