Ein ausgesetztes Baby, eine gefährliche Jugendbande und mehrere Morde: die junge Polizistin Cindy Decker, Tochter des Kommissars Peter Decker, gerät in ihren Ermittlungen in Los Angeles in einen Strudel aus Gewalt.
Und schon bald kommt der Punkt, an denen sie sich zwischen den Dienstvorschriften und ihren Sinn für Gerechtigkeit entscheiden muss…

This Decker book features Cindy as an eager to learn street cop. An apparent hit and run she witnesses sets her on a quest for appropriate retribution for the victims. Excellent assistance and advice from the "loo", her dad helps her learn the patience and skills to be promoted to detective. A black, African Israeli nurse becomes part of her present and future life. Nice change of pace for this fine series. ( )

I prefer Decker as the main detective - Cindy is too lightweight to be interesting. The unsolved side mystery of Rina's grandmother is solved (at the time in Munich i.e. not by Decker) in a separate book, "Straight into Darkness". ( )

This is mostly a good read, quite engrossing. Like all the Lt. Decker books, it's a standard cop thriller, but it's also about maintaining Jewish traditions in a changing world.

Lt. Decker (as in previous Kellerman mysteries) seems a bit emotionally disturbed to me, but most of this mystery centers on his daughter, Cindy. She's also a cop, and her new boyfriend is an Ethiopian Israeli. Cindy is a good character, ambitious and smart. It's interesting to spend some time in her head, as she demands respect in a mostly male world, while also dealing with the vulnerabilities of new romance.

Repetitious 'mutual admiration' conversations are tedious.

Did not enjoy this book. ( )

Because the murder had been kept "secret" for so long, it had taken on mythological proportions.
