The Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus Series - Book 9
Prayers for The Dead
“Her best work. It would be a sin to miss it.”
Lorenzo Carcaterra, New York Times bestselling author of Sleepers
The brutal murder of Dr. Azor Sparks in an alley behind a restaurant is greeted with public outrage and a demand for swift, sure justice. But the investigation into the well-known surgeon's death is raising too many questions and providing too few answers for homicide detective Lieutenant Peter Decker.
Why, for example, would the family of a man so beloved respond to his slaying with more surprise than grief? And what linked a celebrated doctor with strict fundamentalist beliefs to a gang of outlaw bikers? But the most unsettling connection of all is the one that ties the tormented Sparks family to Peter Decker's own-and the secrets shared by a renegade Catholic priest … and Decker's wife, Rina Lazarus.
