“Kellerman is taking a big risk here, and I think she pulls it off in fine style.”
—Washington Post

With Moon Music, New York Times bestseller Faye Kellerman leaves Los Angeles and heads to stranger territories: “Sin City” Las Vegas, Nevada. Taking a brief hiatus from her mystery series featuring LAPD Homicide Detective Peter Decker and his Orthodox Jewish wife, Rina Lazarus, Kellerman delivers a masterful stand-alone crime novel that crackles with suspense and tantalizes with a touch of the paranormal. The horribly savaged body of a once-beautiful Vegas showgirl is discovered in the desert not far from the world-famous Strip, plunging Detective Sergeant Romulus Poe into the heart of a bizarre, full moon-soaked mystery that could cost him everything he holds dear in life, including his sanity.

As a detective lieutenant with the LAPD, Peter Decker witnessed enough ugliness and chaos for a lifetime. Now, he and his spirited wife Rina Lazarus are ready to enjoy the quiet beauty of upstate New York, where they can be closer to their four adult children, grandchildren and their foster son, Gabe.

But working for the Greenbury Police department isn't as fulfilling as Decker hoped. While Rina has adapted beautifully to their new surroundings, Decker is underwhelmed and frustrated by his new partner, Tyler McAdams, a former Harvard student and young buck with a bad attitude. But just when he thinks he's made a mistake, Decker is called to an actual crime—a possible break-in at the local cemetery.

At first, it seems like a false alarm until it's discovered that a mausoleum's stunning Tiffany panels have been replaced by forgeries, which escalates into murder. A coed at an exclusive consortium of liberal arts colleges is brutally slaughtered. Poking into the hallowed halls of academia to find a killer, Decker and McAdams are drawn deep into a web of nasty secrets, cold case crimes, international intrigue, and ruthless people who kill for sport. Decker will need to use every bit of his keen mind, his thirty years of experience as Homicide cop, and much-appreciated help from family and old friends to stop a callous killer and uncover a cabal so bizarre that it defies logic.

In Gun Games, the sensational Faye Kellerman once again showcases Peter Decker of the LAPD and Rina Lazarus, arguably the most popular husband and wife team in contemporary crime fiction. A rash of shocking adolescent suicides at an elite Los Angeles private school is at the heart of this gripping thriller that also focuses on the troubled teen Decker and Lazarus have brought into their home: Gabriel Whitman, the son of a psychopath. Herself one-half of one of noir fiction’s true “power couples”—along with her husband, acclaimed mystery writer Jonathan Kellerman—Faye Kellerman once again demonstrates how American police procedural writing is done to perfection with Gun Games.

Lieutenant Detective Decker and his wife, Rina, investigate an apparent teen suicide witnessed by the son of a troubled former friend whom they have welcomed into their home.

Preeminent astrophysicist Dr. Emil Euler Ganz vanished without any warning to his family or colleagues, only to reappear fifteen years later as ?Father Jupiter,? founder and charismatic leader of the scientific cult the Order of the Rings of God. Now he?s dead?a vial of sleeping pills and an empty bottle of vodka standing near his lifeless body.

Was Ganz?s death an accident? Suicide? Or did someone hasten Jupiter prematurely out of this world? These are the questions LAPD Lieutenant Peter Decker is determined to answer as he enters the cult?s fortress-like compound. Meanwhile, the mysterious disappearance of an Order acolyte and a child turns an already volatile situation even uglier, and Decker will need the wisdom and support of his wife, Rina Lazarus, to defuse a ticking time bomb of jealousy, greed, and lies before it explodes, destroying a multitude of misguided adult lives and scores of innocent children.

L.A. Homicide Detective Peter Decker never wanted the perils of his job to touch his family. But now his two worlds have collided.

A first-year rookie with the LAPD?s Hollywood Division, Cynthia Decker became a cop against the wishes of her father, Peter Decker. But police work is in her blood, and she?s determined to make it on her own?even now, when her razor-sharp instincts for danger are telling her that something is very wrong . . .

The signs are impossible to ignore: things being moved around in her apartment, the destruction of personal effects. But it?s a harrowing trip down a dark canyon road that confirms Cindy?s worst fears. Someone fiendishly relentless, and with decidedly evil intentions, is stalking her. And with Peter Decker isolated from her troubles by his own investigation into a disturbing series of car-jackings, it?s up to Cindy to find out who in her personal and/or professional life wants her frightened or harmed . . . or dead.

The brutal murder of Dr. Azor Sparks in an alley behind a restaurant is greeted with public outrage and a demand for swift, sure justice. But the investigation into the well-known surgeon?s death is raising too many questions and providing too few answers for homicide detective Lieutenant Peter Decker.

Why, for example, would the family of a man so beloved respond to his slaying with more surprise than grief? And what linked a celebrated doctor with strict fundamentalist beliefs to a gang of outlaw bikers? But the most unsettling connection of all is the one that ties the tormented Sparks family to Peter Decker?s own?and the secrets shared by a renegade Catholic priest . . . and Decker?s wife, Rina Lazarus.

A man walks into a trendy Los Angeles restaurant?a disgruntled ex-employee with an automatic weapon?and seconds later, thirteen people are dead and thirty-two more have been wounded. It is a heinous act of mass slaughter that haunts Homicide Detective Peter Decker.

Though eyewitnesses saw only the lone gunman?who apparently took his own life after his bloody work was done?evidence suggests more than one weapon was fired. It is a disturbing inconsistency that sends Decker racing headlong into a sordid, labyrinthine world of Southern California money and power, on an investigation that threatens to destroy his reputation and his career.

Il detective Peter Decker e la sua giovane sposa ebrea, Rina Lazarus, trascorrono la luna di miele nella comunità ebraica di Brooklyn, dove si celebrano i giorni del capodanno. L'allegria delle festività viene sconvolta dalla scomparsa di Noam, un giovane forse in fuga dalla famiglia e dalle restrizioni della comunità ortodossa. Cercare adolescenti fuggitivi è un lavoro adatto a Decker. Ma la comunità è chiusa e diffidente nei confronti di un 'outsider' come lui, e non aiuta a ricostruire la vita di questo ragazzo problematico. Il fiuto di Decker lo porta però a una pista: il compagno di scorribande di Noam risulta essere un ragazzo con gravi disturbi psichici e soprattutto molto, molto pericoloso. La caccia è aperta.

Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus are back in this gripping mystery involving a secret cabal of some of Los Angeles? most wealthy?and vicious?teens

LAPD lieutenant detective Decker and his wife, Rina, have willingly welcomed fifteen-year-old Gabriel Whitman, the son of a troubled former friend, into their home. While the enigmatic teen seems to be adapting easily, Decker knows only too well the secrets adolescents keep?witnessed by the tragic suicide of another teen, Gregory Hesse, a student at Bell and Wakefield, one of the city?s most exclusive prep schools.

Gregory?s mother, Wendy, refuses to believe her son shot himself and convinces Decker to look deeper. What he finds disturbs him. The gun used in the tragedy was stolen?evidence that propels him to launch a full investigation with his trusted team, Sergeant Marge Dunn and Detective Scott Oliver. But the case becomes darkly complicated by the suicide of another Bell and Wakefield student?a death that leads them to uncover an especially nasty group of rich and privileged students with a predilection for guns and violence. Decker thought he understood kids, yet the closer he and his team get to the truth, the clearer it becomes that he knows very little about them, including his own charge, Gabe. The son of a gangster and an absent parent, the boy has had a life filled with too much free time, too many unexplained absences, and too little adult supervision.

Before it?s over, the case and all its terrifying ramifications will take Decker and his detectives down a dark alley of twisted allegiances and unholy alliances, culminating at a heart-stopping point of no return.

LAPD Detective Peter Decker doesn?t know quite what to make of Lilah Brecht. The beautiful, eccentric spa owner and daughter of a faded Hollywood legend, Lilah was beaten, robbed, and raped in her own home?and claims to have psychic powers that enable her to see even more devastating events looming on the horizon. With his heart and mind on his pregnant young wife, Rina Lazarus, at home, Peter finds it hard to put much credence in the victim?s outrageous claims, or to become too deeply involved with her equally odd brothers and aging film star mom. But when Lilah?s dark visions turn frighteningly real, Decker?s world will be severely rocked?as the ?false prophet?s? secrets and obsessions entrap the dedicated policeman . . . and point a killer toward Decker?s own vulnerable family.
