A slight twist on kellermans' Decker/lazarus books. This time, the main character is Peter Deckers' daughter, Cindy. Now part of the LAPD, Cindy becomes the target of a stalker. Somehow, the crimes against her, a note left in her car and the invasion of her appartment, are linked to a murder from over a year ago. While Peter Decker is invistigating a rash of carjackings, he begins to find evidence that these could also be related. Who would want to hurt Cindy? How is she involved? Can Peter and Cindy, along with Marge and Scott, Peter's partners, solve the crime before it's too late? | ||
