False Prophet

False Prophet
Faye Kellerman

The fifth book in the hugely popular Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus series from New York Times bestselling author Faye KellermanLAPD Detective Peter Decker doesn’t know quite what to make of Lilah Brecht. The beautiful, eccentric spa owner and daughter of a faded Hollywood legend, Lilah was beaten, robbed, and raped in her own home—and claims to have psychic powers that enable her to see even more devastating events looming on the horizon. With his heart and mind on his pregnant young wife, Rina Lazarus, at home, Peter finds it hard to put much credence in the victim’s outrageous claims, or to become too deeply involved with her equally odd brothers and aging film star mom. But when Lilah’s dark visions turn frighteningly real, Decker’s world will be severely rocked—as the false prophet’s secrets and obsessions entrap him . . . and point a killer toward Decker’s own vulnerable family.
