'It was the stunned, pale look of bad news' The call was from Rabbi Jonathan Levine, Decker's recently discovered half brother. There has been a murder in Jonathan's family; his brother-in-law, a Hassidic Jew and former drug addict, was found naked in a seedy Manhattan hotel, a single gunshot wound to his head. And his niece, fifteen-year-old Shaynda, is missing...In a desperate bid to track down the missing girl, Decker finds himself in an alien city and a maze of deceit and danger, on a twisted journey that takes him from the darkened slums of New Jersey and the deserted industrial streets of New York, to the hidden meeting places of Hassidic outcasts...
A cracking new tale featuring the orthodox Jewish LA Police Lieutenant Pete Decker who this time journeys to New York after a Hassidic Jew and former drug addict was found murdered and a 15-year-old girl is missing. Decker finds himself in a strange city and struggling to free himself out of a maze of deceit and danger.
