Walking ShadowsDetective Peter Decker
and his wife, Rina Lazarus, risk life and limb to solve a pair of brutal
murders that may be tied to a crime from more than twenty years ago in
this intense and addictive mystery from New York Times bestselling author Faye Kellerman.On
a quiet suburban street in upstate Greenbury, New York, the brutally
beaten body of a young man is discovered in the woods adjacent to an
empty vacation home. Twenty-six-year-old Brady Neil a resident of the
neighboring town of Hamilton, had no criminal record, few friends,
worked full-time, and attended community college. But as Detective Peter
Decker learns, the clean-cut kid is linked to the criminal world. When
Brady was a baby, his father, Brandon Gratz, was convicted of robbing
and killing the owners of a local jewelry store. While Gratz and his
partner, Kyle Masterson, admitted to the robbery, they swore they left
the owners, Glen and Lydia Levine, very much alive.The
experienced detective knows there’s more to this homicide case than the
records show. As he digs into Gratz’s past, Decker begins to suspect
that the son’s murder may be connected to the father’s sins. Before he
can put together the pieces, Decker finds out that one of Brady Neil’s
friends, Joseph Boch—aka Boxer—has gone missing. Heading to Boch’s house
with his temporary new partner, Hamilton PD cop Lenora Baccus, they
discover a bloodbath.Who would savagely kill two innocent
men—and why? Finding the answers will require all of Decker’s skill and
knowledge, the help of his fellow Greenbury detectives, Tyler McAdams
and Kevin Butterfield, and information gleaned from his wife Rina’s
behind the scenes investigation to put all the pieces of this deadly
puzzle together . . . and see justice done.
