With his Orthodox Jewish girlfriend, Rina Lazarus, thousands of miles away in New York wrestling with his marriage proposal, it is a lonelier morning than usual when LAPD detective Pete Decker catches something strange in his headlights. What he discovers is a two-year-old child covered in blood, otherwise unharmed. She doesn't belong to anyone in the housing complex she's crawling around, but Decker knows she must have a family. By the time Rina comes back to town, Decker is obsessed with the case - especially when he stumbles onto a grisly quadruple murder scene & learns what can happen when passion turns into a fatal blood feud...

On a summer night in a housing development near Los Angeles, police sergeant Peter Decker finds a winsome two-year-old girl playing on a swing set--and wearing blood-soaked pajamas. Unclaimed, "Sally" is placed in a foster home while Decker and partner Marge Dunn try to learn her identity. Bee stings on her arms lead them days later to the scene of a bloody multiple murder at a honey farm. While piecing together a bizarre puzzle of betrayal and revenge which includes adultery, infertility and land development plans, Peter is also investigating rape and assault charges brought against an old army buddy from Vietnam. The pressures of the murder case and doubts about his friend's innocence compound Peter's anxiety as he waits for young Orthodox Jewish widow Rina Lazarus to decide if she will marry him--an older man who's only recently embraced his Jewish heritage.

LAPD detective Peter Decker finds a small child, abandoned and covered with blood that is not hers and is determined to follow the scant clues to an answer . no one steps forward to claim the little girl. for anyone who likes suspense, Kellerman is one of the best.

In the predawn hours -alone with his thoughts , LAPD detective Peter Decker finds a small child abandoned and covered with blood that is not hers. It is a sobering discovery, and a perllexing one, for nobody in the development where she was found steps forward to clam the little girl. It is a sticky mass of hatred, passion and murder--in a world where intense sweetness is accompanied by a deadly sting.

I like this Peter Decker series but this one was just not as exciting as most of them have been (some were read out of order). They find a little girl but have trouble finding the parents. When they do, it's a mess of murders and lots of people to blame.

In the middle of all this, an old Army friend of Pete's shows up, in trouble, and asking for help. You know right away he's a real loser, but in what way you really don't know and you could be wrong.

Secrets come out from Peter, from his friend, and from Rina. Some get taken care of and some can't be taken care of.

This is the third in the Peter Decker/Rina Lazarus series. The intertwining plots were complex and well done. However, the tutorial on Judaism did not fit quite as well in this book as in the first of the series.

A two-year-old child covered in blood but with no injuries is found wandering the city streets. Great plot, great mystery! Well worth the read
