I have read many Decker/Lazarus books and knew they met during a rape investigation .. And here it was!  It was great to see where it all began!  The characters seem like old friends and the plot kept me guessing, as always.  Faye Kellerman is an outstanding author.  I would recommend any of the many books of hers that I have read.  When I see she is the author, I know I will enjoy the book.
