A busy night at an elegant restaurant. Diners celebrating birthdays, talking business, enjoying food, wine and company. Minutes later, carnage. Thirteen people are dead, dozens wounded, the medics are working frantically to save them, hands and arms bathed in blood. As Lieutenant Decker, in charge of the police on the scene, says, it's your worst nightmare. A master of nail-biting plotting, generously complex characterisation and with a genius for writing about topics readers really care about, Faye Kellermann is one of America's leading thriller writers.
