Kellerman has written another good mystery about Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus and their family and the young people who attach themselves to the family because Peter and Rina are so warm and welcoming. The mysteries are still well written and intriguing and the characters are like friends now. The plots still hold your attention... Kellerman is going strong with this now this 27th book in this series.
This novel brings together some unfinished business for Peter and his team. There is a body found int he woods in New York where previously a man went missing. Now there seems to be a trail of blood leading to people missing from an assisted living home Peter and his partner have figure out.
Then there is the adopted son, Gabe, who Peter and Rina took into their home years ago. His mother couldn't take care of him and his father is a notorious crime boss. This novel takes Peter back to Los Angeles and Las Vegas to find Gabe's mother, Teresa in danger, involved in a messy divorce from a second marriage. Gabe's half siblings get entangled when they are kidnapped and Gabe calls in a favor from his father, Christopher Donatti, a former hit man from a known criminal family who’s now a millionaire in Nevada. Everyone is working together to find the children but it means that Peter and Gabe may have sold their souls to the devil in an effort to do a good deed.
Always fast paced, with a little Jewish ethics and practice thrown in. Another fun read.
