Los Angeles Police Detective Peter Decker had grown very close to Rina's young sons, Sammy and Jake, as he had to their mother, and he looked forward to spending a day of his vacation camping with the boys. A nice reprieve from the grueling work of a homicide cop-until Sammy stumbles upon a gruesome sight... Two human skeletons, charred beyond recognition, are identified by a forensic dentist as teenage girls--and for Decker, the father of a sixteen-year-old daughter, vacation time is over. Throwing himself professionally and emotionally into the murder case, he launches a very personal investigation: a quest that pulls him deep into the crack dens of Hollywood Boulevard and painfully close to the children of the streets and a nightmare world he must make his own.… (plus d'informations)
Read a Faye Kellerman a few years ago, and didnt like it, much preferring her husband's style, so have avoided reading this one for a while.[return][return]However, did enjoy it more than I thought I would![return][return]Synopsis: "While on a camping trip, Detective Peter Decker and his two young charges come across the charred remains of two teenage girls. Embroiled in a disturbing case, Decker's only unifying thread in a network of violence and corruption is the deaths of the two apparently very different young girls."[return][return]It's early in the series, so Decker is single, and is also struggling with his imminent conversion/acceptance into Judaism
Sacred and Profane is a story about child pronogrophy. It is a very difficult topic and somewhat graphically described in this book. The book also dealt with Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus dealing with their love for each other. The fact that love and religious beliefs are not easy in a relationship wherein both parties have different expectations. Four stars were awarded to this book. ( )
Ein schauriger Fund bedeutet das abrupte Ende eines Campingtrips. Dabei wollte Detective Peter Decker einfach nur einmal richtig ausspannen und ist mit den beiden Söhnen seiner Angebeteten, Rina Lazarus, über die Feiertage in die Berge gefahren. Doch dann entdecken sie in einem Laubhaufen zwei verkohlte Skelette. Die anschließende Obduktion ergibt, dass es sich um zwei junge Mädchen handelte. Eine davon muss die 16jährige Lindsey sein, die vor drei Monaten spurlos aus dem Haus ihrer wohlhabenden Eltern verschwunden ist. Unvermutet gerät Peter Decker in eine dunkle Welt voller verdeckter Leidenschaften und schwelender Gewalt.
