Read a Faye Kellerman a few years ago, and didnt like it, much preferring her husband's style, so have avoided reading this one for a while.[return][return]However, did enjoy it more than I thought I would![return][return]Synopsis: "While on a camping trip, Detective Peter Decker and his two young charges come across the charred remains of two teenage girls. Embroiled in a disturbing case, Decker's only unifying thread in a network of violence and corruption is the deaths of the two apparently very different young girls."[return][return]It's early in the series, so Decker is single, and is also struggling with his imminent conversion/acceptance into Judaism

Sacred and Profane is a story about child pronogrophy. It is a very difficult topic and somewhat graphically described in this book. The book also dealt with Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus dealing with their love for each other. The fact that love and religious beliefs are not easy in a relationship wherein both parties have different expectations. Four stars were awarded to this book. (

Ein schauriger Fund bedeutet das abrupte Ende eines Campingtrips. Dabei wollte Detective Peter Decker einfach nur einmal richtig ausspannen und ist mit den beiden Söhnen seiner Angebeteten, Rina Lazarus, über die Feiertage in die Berge gefahren. Doch dann entdecken sie in einem Laubhaufen zwei verkohlte Skelette. Die anschließende Obduktion ergibt, dass es sich um zwei junge Mädchen handelte. Eine davon muss die 16jährige Lindsey sein, die vor drei Monaten spurlos aus dem Haus ihrer wohlhabenden Eltern verschwunden ist. Unvermutet gerät Peter Decker in eine dunkle Welt voller verdeckter Leidenschaften und schwelender Gewalt.

Sgt. Pete Decker is studying Judaism, in love w Rima, working on case of two burned bodies, discovers small porn ring, Rina back to NY

Too much religion mixed in with too much porn stuff. It seems that those two things don't mix well for a good story. The title is very telling. (
