Faye Kellerman has that kind of effect on you. She's compelling, intriguing, brilliant in the art of weaving her magical spell and a fictional alchemist of the highest order. Her plots are complex and premeditated beyond expectation, and her humanity, compassion, voracious criminal appetite and tactile descriptive verve hurl you into their swirling vortex, with no visible means of escape.
Her novels curl and wrap themselves around the trade winds of crime, motive, corruption, Jewish proverbs and history, holy diction and the continuing journey of Detective Sergeant Peter Decker and his beautiful but troubled wife Rina Lazarus.
