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...

End of the road

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

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.

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.

Repeated content!

This book droned for a long time and was totally disappointing! There were 2 plot lines that had nothing to do with each other. I’m a romantic but unless you call sodomy romantic, there was none. Decker and Lazarus need to stay in the Holy Land!

sad to say good-bye

in the forward, the author tells us this is the final book of the series. I have thoroughly enjoyed the development of the characters over the years. This book spends a lot of time taking a graphic look into the dark lives of Gabriel's parents as well as tying up the what happens to the Decker clan. thank you, Faye Kellerma, for the journey.

good but.....

I have read or listened to all the books in this series. pre ordering them, and enjoying every minute. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this one too. I wish I had re read the last one before I started. I felt this was a kind of sequel, and not a stand alone novel. And, while I understand the need to have all the sex between Chris and Terry, you have to be careful if you are listening without headphones. Your family doesn't want to hear that.

Text said this was optional. Guess not.

Hard to finish. the letter to Gabe wraps it up. wish the Donnatti's had a happy ending. wish that Decker took over as chief of police from Radar.
loved your books. sorry they are ending. the Decker story has a lot to go further on. try and and work on it! Thank you!
