Book Description:
Peter Decker of the L.A.P.D. never dreamed he'd be spending his honeymoon with his new wife, Rina Lazarus, in an Orthodox Jewish enclave in Brooklyn, New York -- or that a terrible event would end it so abruptly. But a boy has vanished from the midst of this close-knit religious community, a troubled youth fleeing the tight bonds and strictures he felt were strangling him. The runaway, Noam, is not traveling alone. A killer has taken him under his wing to introduce Noam to a savage world of blood and terror. And now Decker must find them both somewhere in America before a psychopath ends the life of a confused and frightened youngster whose only sin was to want something more.

Police detective meets devout Jewish woman & marries her. In this book they are on their honeymoon in NY visiting her in-laws from her first husband who is died. Not the best place for a honeymoon. However, they manage to get themselves involved in a search for a missing teenaged boy.

A great Peter/Rina novel. Always so much information about the Jewish culture, great for myth-busting, but also a wonderful mysterious read!
These books are getting better every time. I can't wait for the next one. I don't want to spoil this one for anyone but there is a really exciting discovery in this book.

I found this book to be extremely entertaining. One of the best in the series!
Megan S. from SAN FRANCISCO, CA wrote on 9/9/2005...A good mystery with a little look into Orthodox Jewish culture on the side.
Natasha S. (one of my favorite series - love the relationship for Peter and Rina
When Los Angeles detective Peter Decker and new wife Rina Lazarus visit her Jewish kinfolks in Brooklyn, startling events disturb their honeymoon. Quite unexpectedly and with great antipathy, Decker--an adoptee--recognizes his natural mother at a holiday gathering. Before he can confront her, though, her troubled 14-year-old grandson goes missing and Decker, fortuitously on hand, begins the search. Soon after he learns that the boy has taken up with a dangerously disturbed and vicious young man, the scene switches to Los Angeles. Hard-hitting details, vignettes of Jewish life, and uncomfortably close glimpses of a cold-hearted psycho make this an entrancing page turner. Not to be missed
