Publisher's summary

Detective Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus return to Los Angeles when a kidnapping hits close to home—in this breathtaking new thriller from New York Times bestselling author Faye Kellerman.

Peter and his partner, Detective Tyler McAdams, are thrown into an unsolved case and propelled into action when a body is found in the very woods where a man previously went missing in upstate New York.

But that’s not the only crisis that Peter has to deal with.

Teresa McLaughlin, the biological mother of Peter and his wife Rina’s foster son, Gabe, has fled to Los Angeles with her two children in tow, hoping to avoid a court injunction amid a messy divorce. But LA is no escape from her problems—she is found by ruthless men and beaten mercilessly. When she wakes, barely conscious, Teresa discovers that both of her children are gone and frantically calls Gabe for help.

With his mother on the verge of death, Gabe contacts Peter and Rina, as well as his biological father, the notorious Christopher Donatti, a former hit man from a known criminal family who’s now a millionaire in Nevada. By bringing Donatti into the fray, Gabe, Peter, and Rina know they have made a deal with the devil—but they may not be able to recover the kids without him.

As these unlikely allies rally to find the kidnappers before things end tragically, they race headlong toward an explosive confrontation from which no one will emerge unscathed...

The more things change the more they stay the same

Amazing story. I finished it in 2 days, because I couldn't stop listening.

The story grabs you and won't let go.

End of the road

VERY DISAPPOINTED. Too much violence. Too many characters left hanging. So sad .Let down. Farewell

Heartbroken

Loved this series, have listened to a couple of them twice. Memorable moments, Memorable characters. I will admit to deep feelings of loss knowing there won't be anymore books in this series.
Thank you

Not what I expected

But I enjoyed the story even though the suspense kept me going! I did cry.

A fond farewell

It was just so nice to finish the series I had enjoyed so much over the years!

Tedious and Exhausting

i have always loved Faye Kellerman’s books. The relationship between Terry and Chris was exhausting. The constant abi’s i’ve sex scenes were excruciating tedious and boring. i waited the entire book for Terry to find her power and it never happened. Awful end to a great series.

Why was this written

I have always enjoyed this series from beginning until this one book. And then it is as if a steel door stole all the good moments and slammed them shut. I wish I hadn’t bought it. A library book you give back. This you can’t. And it is hard to shut out of your mind.

Another Kellerman Great

I loved every minute of the book. Was even a little sad when one of the characters passed. I sure hope Faye keeps it coming. Looking forward to the next one.

This Can't Be The End

So sorry that this is the last book. Broke my heart at the end and made me cry.

A bit graphic but…

I’ve always enjoyed this series, this book was no different. The sex scenes were sometimes a little graphic, as was Chris’ language. However they fit for the circumstances and the characters. I really wish the series would’ve ended on a bit of a higher note tho. I really felt for Chris and and totally understand loving someone so much that you’re not sure how to be whole without them…. The end of the book had me in tears. 💔
