Detective Peter Decker of the LAPD is stunned when he gets
the report.Someone has shattered the sanctuary of a remote
yeshiva community in the California hills with an
unimaginable crime. One of the women was brutally raped as
she returned from the mikvah, the bathhouse where the
cleansing ritual is performed.
The crime was called in by Rina Lazarus, and Decker is
relieved to discover that she is a calm and intelligent
witness. She is also the only one in the sheltered
community willing to speak of this unspeakable violation.
As Rina tries to steer Decker through the maze of religious
laws the two grow closer. But before they get to the bottom
of this horrendous crime, revelations come to light that
are so shocking that they threaten to come between the hard-
nosed cop and the deeply religious woman with whom he has
become irrevocably linked.
