Publisher's Synopsis
Outstanding, suspense-packed - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY The call is brief, but to the point. There has been a murder in the family of Lt. Decker's half brother, Rabbi Jonathan Levine. Ephraim Lieber, an Hassidic Jew and former drug addict, was found naked in a seedy Manhattan hotel, a single gunshot wound to his head, and Jonathan's niece, Shaynda, is missing. The Rabbi pleads with Decker to come to New York and help the family. He reluctantly agrees only to find that Shaynda's parents have changed their minds about involving him in the case. Faced with a hostile family, a strange city and a local police force mired in international problems, Decker is on his own, thrust into a world divided mercilessly into killers and victims.
