From Barnes & NobleIn real life, homicide detectives take at least occasional vacations; in fiction, every sleuth's getaway is abruptly canceled by some scoundrel's impolite act of mayhem. In Blindman's Bluff, the 18th Decker/Lazarus mystery, Peter and Rina must rush back to L.A. to track down a killer who refuses to retire.
Publishers WeeklyWhen billionaire developer Guy Kaffey, his wife and assorted employees are brutally murdered, police lieutenant Pete Decker investigates the motives and alibis of the remaining Kaffeys, while Rina, out on jury duty, is largely absent from the main plot. It's a fortuitous development: Mitchell Greenberg offers a slight shift in pitch for Rina, but he shines when capturing the tough-but-reasonable Decker, the gruff-but-romantic detective Scott, and the many members of a Mexican family, whose accented English he performs with subtlety and finesse.
