In The Garden of Eden and Other Criminal Delights, Faye Kellerman returns to her fan-favorite characters, Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus, in three never-before-published stories—including “The Garden of Eden,” in which Peter and Rina investigate the death of a neighbor. The volume also contains two other Decker-Lazarus short mysteries: "Bull's Eye," introducing Cindy Decker, who works with her father to find the killer of a police academy instructor; and "A Woman of Mystery," in which Rina and Peter solve the mystery of a student with amnesia. The nine remaining tales are classic Kellerman, and include "Mummy and Jack," cowritten with her son, Jesse. With two bonus stories and two personal essays, this book is a must-have for all Kellerman fans and crime fiction enthusiasts alike.
