JUPITER'S BONES

Lage brings all the horror of murders in a cult enclave to life. Faye Kellerman is at it again, bringing in Lieut. Peter Decker of the LAPD to deal with murder, kidnapping, mystery and more murder. Jupiter, a renowned astrophysicist turned cult leader, is dead by suicide or perhaps murder. Was it slow poison or his own hand? Regardless, it tips the balance of power, and mayhem erupts. The gruesome aspects of Kellerman's tale are made more vivid through Lage's unrelenting narration. However, he mangles Decker's Hebrew phrases (the only trace of the original theme of Kellerman's series). M.B.K. © AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC/JAN 00]
