While his wife is recovering from birthing complications, Peter
Decker of the LAPD (False Prophet, etc.) - along with his partner
Marga and his teenage daughter, Cindy, from his first marriage -
investigate the kidnapping of baby Rodriguez from the hospital
nursery. Two nurses are also missing - one turns up murdered at the
bottom of a cliff - and a former staff nurse, a 300-pounder with
forged credentials, is now a sleek bodybuilder who hears voices
telling her to kill. Decker, Marga, and Cindy toss around possible
motives and - thanks to clues provided by the ramblings of an old
woman and the confession of a scheming male RN - they piece
together the tale of a seriously warped little girl who grew up to
confront the woman who bad an affair with her daddy - a woman now
so repentant that she swears she is the murderer/kidnapper. Nice
family scenes for Jewish convert Decker and his orthodox in-laws,
and Cindy is the most appealing - and overeager - teenage detective
since Nancy Drew. But Kellerman's plotting still veers into
melodrama, undercutting her story's plausibility. (Kirkus Reviews)
Minutes after Sergeant Pete Decker witnesses his wife give birth to
their first child his policeman's instinct tells him something's
wrong - not just with his baby but with the hospital itself. The
disappearance of a new-born baby, together with that of the nurse
in charge of the post-natal unit, confirms once again that Decker's
instincts were correct and he is soon put on the case. The early
signs look bad - the missing nurse's burnt-out car, together with
some charred remains, are found in a remote ravine. But as Decker
and his partner delve deeper, they start to uncover the network of
family tragedy and betrayal that led to the frantic kidnapping of
an innocent baby girl.
