The professional and the personal intersect in treacherous
ways in this compelling and eerie installment in Faye
Kellerman's thrilling New York Times bestselling
Decker/Lazarus series
Throughout his years with the LAPD, Peter Decker has handled
a number of tough cases and strange killers. But few of his
previous assignments compare to his latest case—the most
bizarre of his storied career!
When Hobart Penny is found dead in his apartment, the cops
think that his pet cat—an adult female tiger—attacked
the reclusive elderly billionaire. But it soon becomes clear
that the beast that killed the eccentric inventor is all too
human. Digging into the victim's life, Decker and his
colleagues, Detectives Marge Dunn and Scott Oliver, discover
that Penny was an exceptionally peculiar man with exotic
tastes, including kinky sex with call girls.
Following a trail of clues that leads from a wildlife
sanctuary in the San Bernardino Mountains to the wild
nightlife of Las Vegas, the LAPD detectives are left
juggling too many suspects and too few answers. To break
open a case involving the two most primal instincts—sex
and murder—Decker wrestles with a difficult choice. Should
he turn to a man with expert knowledge of both, Chris
Donatti, the dangerous man who also happens to be the father
of Decker's foster son, Gabriel Whitman, a boy not without
his own problems?
As their work and intimate worlds collide, Decker and his
wife, Rina, find themselves facing tough questions. It just
might be that family crises and work-related
responsibilities prove too much for Decker's career. A
confluence of ordeals can stress even the most intact of
families. And when all these shocking truths comes out,
exactly how well will Decker and Rina cope, and survive?
