Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's quarter white paper with blue lettering to spine over yellow boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition. A man walks into a trendy Los Angeles restaurant -- a disgruntled ex-employee with an automatic weapon -- and seconds later, thirteen people are dead and thirty-two more have been wounded. It is a heinous act of mass slaughter that haunts Homicide Detective Peter Decker. But, though eyewitnesses saw only the lone gunman -- who apparently took his own life after his bloody work was done -- evidence suggests more than one weapon was fired. It is a disturbing inconsistency that sends Decker racing headlong into a sordid, labyrinthine world of Southern California money and power, on an investigation that threatens to destroy his reputation and his career. Condition: Spine ends lightly soiled else a very good to fine copy in a fine jacket.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 406 pages. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's black boards with gilt lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. 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.
