Thriller Crime | Suspense

Death and violence have come to the wealthy Kaffey family on their heavily fortified Coyote Ranch. Now LAPD homicide detective, Lieutenant Peter Decker, is in charge of not only finding out who but how. As the case of who killed the billionaire, his wife, four employees and gravely wounded the younger of his grown sons continues, Decker's wife, Rina Lazarus, is seeing a different side of the justice system from a juror's point of view. But a chance encounter draws her into the investigation and leads them toward a BLINDMAN'S BLUFF.

In the ever-changing twists and turns of the eighteenth installment of the Decker and Lazarus series, veteran readers and newcomers alike will be unable to stop until the end of this page turning, suspense-filled mystery. BLINDMAN'S BLUFF is a wonderful blending of relatable characters that are kept believable throughout the entire story. Readers will be shown the different facets of this mystery by a truly first class storyteller. Faye Kellerman not only shows the main mystery, but also wonderful side mysteries that are just as well thought-out and rich. Kellerman shows us the wonderful (and sometimes stressful) world that is the home, and in this story, work life of Decker and Lazarus.

BLINDMAN'S BLUFF is an enjoyable read for any level of mystery fan from 'just a bit with my fiction, please' to 'the case is afoot!'.

SUMMARY

LAPD homicide detective Peter Decker and his wife, Rina Lazarus, will be blindsided by a brutal multiple murder in this twisting tale of suspense from New York Times bestselling author Faye Kellerman.

"They say dead men don't talk, but if you listen, they do."

As a lieutenant in the LAPD, homicide detective Peter Decker doesn't get many calls at 3 a.m. unless a case is nasty, sensational—or both. Someone has broken into the exclusive Coyote Ranch compound of billionaire developer Guy Kaffey and viciously gunned him down, along with his wife and four employees.

A well-known figure on both the business and society pages, Kaffey, with his sons and his younger brother, Mace, built most of the shopping malls in Southern California and earned a reputation for philanthropy, donating millions to worthy causes. It doesn't take long for Peter, his trusted detectives Scott Oliver and Marge Dunn, and the rest of his homicide team to figure out that the gruesome killings must be an inside job. Things become even more entangled when they discover that Kaffey's largesse had included organizations that extended second chances to delinquents, many of whom Kaffey had hired for his personal security. But was the job pure murder/robbery or something even more twisted? A developer of Kaffey's magnitude doesn't make billions without making more enemies with blood grudges.

With leads taking the team across L.A., up and down the Golden State, and into Mexico, Decker is plenty busy—and plenty thankful not to have to worry about his wife, Rina Lazarus, getting caught up in this deadly case. Rina is out of harm's way, serving on a jury at the courthouse.

But then a chance encounter with a court translator who needs her help leads Rina into the terrifying heart of her husband's murder investigations—and straight into the path of a gang of ruthless killers. To protect Rina, Decker must find his prey before death unites his two worlds.

A fast-paced tour through the urban landscape of L.A., Blindman's Bluff is a riveting mile-a-minute thrill ride from a formidable master of her craft.
