Loading... Sanctuary (1994)by Faye Kellerman
None. 00002829 When one diamond dealer and his family disappears and another diamond merchant is murdered, the hunt for the culprit(s) leads Peter Decker to Israel with wife Rina in tow as translator cum detective. This is one of my favorite installments of the series, partly because of the new locales (Jerusalem and Tel Aviv) and partly because Rina gets to have an actual impact on the mystery-plot. Definitely a must if you have an interest in Judaism, but a solid mystery even if you don't. Peter & Rena and the murder of a Jewish couple & disappearances. Although well plotted and with Faye Kellerman's usual good eye for character, the book seems to lose impetus half way through. Good but not among her best. Seventh in the series - hope these continue for a long time. Back Cover Blurb: A diamond dealer and his entire family have mysteriously disappeared from their sprawling Los Angeles manor, leaving the estate undisturbed and their valuables untouched. Investigating detective Decker is stumped - faced with a perplexing case riddled with dead ends. Then a second dealer is found murdered in Manhattan, catapulting Decker and his wife, Rina, into a heartstopping maze of murder and intrigue that spans the globe....only to touch down dangerously in their own backyard. no reviews | add a review
