About this ebook

A camping trip in the foothills unearths two charred skeletons, plunging Detective Peter Decker into Hollywood’s darkest corners.

Available for the first time in a Premium edition, one of New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Faye Kellerman’s fan-favorite Decker/Lazurus novels.

The novel sets LAPD Detective Sergeant Peter Decker on a murder case after a foothill camping trip unearths two burned skeletons. Kellerman moves the investigation through forensic dental charts and the grim underworld of illicit Hollywood film rings.

Across Los Angeles, the story follows Decker between tense interrogations in Venice and quiet Talmud study at an Orthodox yeshiva.

  • Forensic Investigation: Dr. Annie Hennon matches plaster dental casts and radiographs to identify the charred remains as a missing high school cheerleader and an exploited streetwalker.
  • Race Against Time: Detective Sergeant Decker and partner Marge Dunn navigate dangerous Foothill Division politics while pursuing a ruthless ring of illicit film distributors.
  • Slow Burn: Decker struggles to balance a brutal homicide investigation with his deep romantic feelings for Orthodox widow Rina Lazarus, whose strict religious boundaries forbid intimacy outside of marriage.
  • Also by This Author: Bone Box, Murder 101 and The Lost Boys.

Origin of the alphabet; number line, computer is the same place. There isn't a calendar without a programmer; different ones in society are for companies to supply basic utilities; motor vehicles, food clothes & shelter. Computer programs give the answers to outstanding questions; humans do not. They also drive all artificial moving objects; humans do not. One program designs all the building and a different one does cars; the program includes after they are built schedules for them and us. Cameras are a derivative of computer separate from video recorder for unreal pictures and photograph obstructing justice to disappear or vanish includes video tapes & DVD's.
