The Ritual Bath

Detective Peter Decker is used to working difficult cases. But even he is shocked by the call that comes in from the remote yeshiva community in the hills behind Los Angeles. Their sanctuary has been shattered—a woman has been viciously attacked after leaving the bathhouse. The community is highly suspicious of outsiders—persuading people to talk will be difficult. But against the odds, Decker forms a connection with the young widow who discovered the victim, Rina Lazarus. Together, Rina and Decker work to expose the culprit. But then a shocking revelation comes to light. Will Decker uncover the truth? And even if he does, will it tear him and Rina apart?
