Book Reviews of The Forgotten (Peter Decker & Rina Lazarus, Bk 13)

Another great Rina/Peter story. Great job by Faye on having Rina's son mixed up in the story line. As they are getting older it is nice to see their children deal with the same issues as our own kids do. This one kept me in suspense all the way through. I also loved how Rina was brought in to help with the case and do some digging on her own.

Kellerman writes about what she knows and it shows in the development of her characters and storyline. In the continuing story of Peter Decker/ Rina Lazuras, they work together to solve the mystery of who desecrated the synagogue and the murders of a young man and his therapist. As with all of her novels this is one that keeps you turning the pages and burning the midnight oil to finish it.

Back cover has a seam tear, taped and in good readable condition.

I really liked this. Good mystery. Good writer. Story flows.

Another in the great series featuring Rina Lazarus and her husband, LAPD Homicide LT Peter Decker.

Rina and Jacob become involved in this 15th book of the Peter Decker series.

I always enjoy Faye Kellerman's mysteries.

As I expected, another wonderful read from F Kellerman!

What began with an act of vandalism turned into something far more deadly.

Rina's synagogue has been desecrated, and Nazi death camp photographs left. The perpetrator is a seventeen year old. who is later found brutally murdered.

Fay Kellerman is always a great read. I really enjoy the Peter Decker Rina Lazarus novels.

This was a really well written, engrossing thriller. Good plot lines and it keeps you guessing to the end.

***** Great book, loved every minute of it!

FROM THE PUBLISHER
"The unofficial caretaker of her small store-front synagogue, Rina is shocked when she receives a morning call from the police. The modest place of worship has been desecrated with anti-Semitic graffiti and grisly Nazi death-camp photographs. Rina's husband, Lt. Peter Decker, is also rocked by this outrage, which cuts close to the spiritual heart of his family, but he can't let his emotions get in the way of his duties." "A suspect is soon in custody. Seventeen-year-old Ernesto Golding is one of L.A's children of wealth and privilege, a rich kid obsessed with haunting suspicions about the origins of his Polish paternal grandfather, who moved to Argentina after the Third Reich collapsed. Charges are brought against Ernesto, a deal is cut, and the vandalism case is eventually closed." "Still, Decker has never abandoned the possibility that others were involved in the desecration. And his hunch is confirmed when, six months later, Ernesto is found brutally murdered along with his therapist, Dr. Mervin Baldwin, at the psychologist's exclusive nature camp that caters to the wealthy's troubled children. Suspicion falls immediately on Baldwin's psychologist wife, Dee, who has vanished mysteriously. Further probing by Decker fails to produce quick answers and simple solutions." For Decker and Rina, unraveling the truth behind Ernesto's violent death becomes more terrifying with each sinister twist, pushing them into the ghastly world of ruthless parents and damaged youths. Slowly, lethal secrets with roots in the horrors of a past generation surface, propelling Peter and Rina into a dreaded journey of dark and evil - and of ultimate retribution.
