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,
sensationalβor 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 busyβand
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 investigationsβand 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.
