Description
''It was the stunned, pale look of bad news'' The call is brief. There''s been a murder in the family of Lieutenant Decker''s half brother, Rabbi Jonathan Levine. Ephraim Lieber, a Hassidic Jew with a catalogue of problems in his past, was found dead in a seedy Manhattan hotel, a single gunshot wound to his head. And his niece, fifteen-year-old Shaynda, is missing. In a desperate bid to track down the missing girl, Decker finds himself in an alien city and a maze of deceit and danger, on a twisted journey that takes him from the darkened slums of New Jersey and the deserted industrial streets of New York, to the hidden meeting places of Hassidic outcasts...
Description
Peter Decker von der Polizei in Los Angeles steht vor einem besonders schwierigen Fall: ein Mitglied seiner Familie ist in einem schäbigen Hotel in Manhattan ermordet worden. Nur zögernd begibt sich Decker mit seiner Frau Rina Lazarus auf Spurensuche ins winterliche New York. Inmitten jener Verwüstung, die die Anschläge vom 11. September hinterlassen haben, stößt das Ermittlerpaar auf unerwarteten Widerstand. Denn nicht nur die New Yorker Polizei, sondern auch die jüdisch-orthodoxe Familie des Mordopfers vermauert sich hinter eisiger Ablehnung. So muss Decker den zweifelhaften Hinweisen eines Mafia-Abkömmlings folgen und gelangt prompt in ein gefährliches Geflecht aus Drogen, gewaschenem Geld und dunklen Geheimnissen - mitten im Herzen einer tief verletzten Metropole.
