So the serial killer and his girlfriend hang the girl and do their best to pin it on an innocent bystander who turns out to be a serial killer in his own right. In addition, a friend of Decker's has gone missing and he suspects the psychotic husband, who runs a string of casinos and brothels and is a contract assassin. The friend has dumped her teenage son who is a general all-round genius and piano virtuoso, on the Deckers. Along about that point it starts to get complicated.
Good storytelling, great characters, I believe that the Kellerman dumps the kid there to give Decker some home interaction and his own kids are pretty well grown and out of trouble. I have missed several of these, but I seem to remember that family interactions are the method Kellerman uses to illuminate Decker's character and she has worked his family out of its troubled youth making it necessary to put one in.
She does a really good job of leading the reader to a conclusion then taking a spin in a totally different direction, keeps it interesting.
