Sacred And Profane (Peter Decker & Rina Lazarus Novels)

Plot

Los Angeles Police Detective Peter Decker is camping in the foothills above L.A. with two young friends--the sons of Rina Lazarus--when the older boy stumbles on a truly horrifying sight: two charred human skeletons. A forensic dentist determines that the victims were teenage girls. Decker, the father himself of a sixteen-year-old daughter, throws himself emotionally and professionally into the murder case. But the difficult investigation begins to pull him in two opposing directions: one toward a genteel suburban family; the other into the terrifying crack dens of Hollywood Boulevard. . . .
