Summary: BLIND JUSTICE
Review: With this eighth entry in her popular Decker/Lazarus series, Faye Kellerman finally reaches a pinnacle of writing. "Justice" is a compelling mystery and psychological thriller that puts Decker and especially Rina in supporting roles. The voice of this novel is student Terry McLaughlin, a virginal Catholic girl, who finds herself tutoring a stud muffin with a somewhat colorful and enigmatic past, which includes the murder of his abusive father, and ties to his Mafia-family. Chris Whitman is the boy, a handsome, charismatic youth who develops an obsession with Terry. Problem is Chris is the chief suspect in the murder of his trashy girl friend. When he confesses in order to protect Terry, Decker finds himself in an unusual kaleidoscope of inter-departmental intrigue and trying to justify Whitman's conviction. Another powerfl presence in the book is Wanda Bontemp, a black cop, whose own prejudices and misconceptions have been her own private demons.
The story is well written, and Kellerman's religious preferences don't dominate the novel.
A good book in this up and down series.
