I really did enjoy this book. While it was great to hear about Cindy and see how she worked with the rest of the department I did miss hearing more about Rina and the rest of the family. Some of it was hard to believe like her going off alone in her car that was smoking and stuff, only reading the first name off that list and not asking her dad for help when she really needed it. You would think being she was a cop and somoeone was after you that you would ask your dad and at the least Marge or Scott. I know any normal person would LOL. All in all it was a good read.

Although Jonathan Kellerman gets all the glory, I think that Faye is much the better writer. Her Peter and Rina series is wonderful and so informative.

This book is about a female cop that is too educated, too smart and too mouthy. She is being stalked, and the stalking has something to do with car jackings that are going on in the city she lives in.

I thought it was a pretty good book.

I read a couple books of this series years ago and so glad I found them again. Fantastic storylines. Keeps you on your toes. Having Pete's daughter as a policewoman is a perfect continuation of the stories. Great read!

A first year rookie with the LAPD's Hollywood Division, Cynthia Decker became a cop against her father, Peter Decker's wishes. But police work is in her blood, and she's determined to make it on her own-even now, when her razor sharp intincts for danger are telling her that something is very wrong...
The signs are impossible to ignore: things being moved around in her apartment, the destruction of personal effects. But it's a harrowing trip down a dark canyon road that confirms Cindy's worst fears. Someone fiendishly relentless, and with decidedly evil intentions, is stalking her. And with Peter Decker isolated from her troubles by his own investigation into a disturbing series of car-jackings, it's up to Cindy alone to find out who in her own personal and/or professional life wants her frightened or harmed...or dead.
Great read, one of my favorite Faye Kellerman novels.

This book features Peter's daughter Cindy as a cop on her own having lots of trouble that she decides she can handle on her own (as the young tend to do at times). I enjoy reading about Cindy but hope this book is the last of really stupid mistakes on her part.

PB, NY Times Bestseller, Kellerman also wrote Jupiter's Bones..continues with the Decker genealogy, daughter Cynthia becomes a cop. Too many coincidences set off her instincts that she is in danger..

LAPD detective Peter Decker, promoted to lieutenant after his heroics in Jupiter's Bones (1999), is overloaded with troubles in this outstanding, suspense-packed mystery, the 12th in Kellerman's acclaimed series. As usual, a challenging case distracts Decker from his family, but this time there is one difference. Cindy, his smart, outspoken daughter from his first marriage, is now a cop, to the overprotective Decker's dismay. Meanwhile, Decker is faced with two different series of car-jackings. In one string, the thief targets young women carrying babies. The cops tie the other jackings to Armand Crayton, a sleazy real estate developer who had supposedly died in a car crash a year earlier, after being kidnapped. Several women Crayton knew have been threatened, their cars stolen. When Drecker discovers that an anonymous stalker has been harassing Cindy, he hits the roof. Is it one of her colleagues, or does trouble stem from her casual acquaintance with Crayton? Kellerman is a fine writer, beautifully evoking the feel of Los Angeles and creating scenes that would please Chandler and MacDonald. She deals realistically with the problems women face in a male police world. Her development of the tense father-daughter relationship is wise and honest: Decker is torn between his inability to accept Cindy as an independent adult and his pride in her accomplishments; meanwhile, Cindy respects and loves her father but is distraught by his interference in her personal and professional life. The complex Cindy is a most welcome addition to Kellerman's cast. (Aug.)

The back of the book says: "L.A. Homicide Detective Peter Decker never wanted the perils of his job to touch his family. But now his two worlds have collided." I never read this book, so I can't tell you more about it.
