The ninth book in the hugely popular Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus series from New York Times bestselling author Faye Kellerman.

You never know who is hiding the darkest of secrets…

Dr Azor Sparks is a model citizen – a devoted family man, a talented heart surgeon and a pillar of the local church. So when he is brutally murdered in a deserted alley, there is a public outcry.

Detective Peter Decker immediately realises though that all is not as it seems in Azor’s life. He has made enemies among his colleagues, a gang of bikers counts him as an associate, and his six children seem intent on tearing each other apart.

Most unsettling of all, though, is that Decker uncovers a dark secret shared between one of Azor’s children, now a Catholic priest, and his own wife, Rina. Will he be able to ensure justice is served without hurting those he loves most?
