Description

Fiction. Literature. Mystery. HTML: L.A. Homicide Detective Peter Decker never wanted the perils of his job to touch his family. But now his two worlds have collided. A first year rookie with the LAPD's Hollywood Division, Cynthia Decker became a cop against her father, Peter Decker's, wishes. But police work is in her blood, and she's determined to make it on her own -- even now, when her razor sharp instincts for danger are telling her that something is very wrong... The signs are impossible to ignore: things being moved around in her apartment, the destruction of personal effects. But it's a harrowing trip down a dark canyon road that confirms Cindy's worst fears. Someone fiendishly relentless, and with decidedly evil intentions, is stalking her. And with Peter Decker isolated from her troubles by his own investigation into a disturbing series of car-jackings, it's up to Cindy alone to find out who in her personal and/or professional life wants her frightened or harmed...or dead..… (more)

If you are just starting to read Faye Kellerman read a different book. Some of her earlier books are much better than this.
Cindy, daughter of Lt. Peter Decker is all grown up and a police woman herself. She is not very well liked by her fellow officers because she seems to flaunt the fact her daddy

is Lt. Peter Decker. What a brat! She keeps finding things that seem to be moved in her apartment. Meanwhile, her father and people under his command are investigating a series of carjackings trying to find a common thread.

It started a little slow but it ended up being action packed.
On a scale of 1-10- 1 being bad, 10 being awesome , i give this one a 7. Onto Justice!

Maybe not her best novel but still loaded with suspense and insight. The depiction of macho bent cops is scary. Make sure you have enough time to read the last hundred pages at one sitting - you won't be able to put it down.

This is the twelfth in the Decker series. Great series IMHO.

Back Cover Blurb:
It began with a policewoman's sixth sense. Someone is watching her. Then, after the break-in and the midnight car pursuit, she knows. Someone wants to frighten her. Someone wants to hurt her.
But why?
As an inexperienced

policewoman, daughter of one of the force's veterans, admitting what's happening feels like a confession of weakness. There seems no option for Cindy Decker but to go it alone, keeping her colleagues and family in the dark. And in a world in which someone is trying to kill you, alone is a very frightening place....

Stalker is a thriller story. It is not necessarily believable. There are just too many coincidences. Not until the last few chapters does the book get good with the police investigation. The characters are all believable. Only three 1/2 stars were awarded to this book because of the unbelievable

circumstances.
