Reseña: Billionaire genius Genoa Greeves never got over the shocking death of her favorite teacher Bennett Dr. Ben Alston Little murdered execution-style and stuffed into the trunk of his Mercedes-Benz. No arrests were ever made no killer charged for the brutal crime. Fifteen years later the high-tech CEO reads about another execution-style murder this time the victim is a Hollywood music producer named Primo Ekerling. There is no obvious connection but the case is eerily similar to Littles and Genoa feels the time is right to close Dr. Bens case once and for all--offering the L.A.P.D. a substantial financial incentive if justice is finally served for Little. Lieutenant Peter Decker resents having to commit valuable manpower to a fifteen-year-old open case simply because a rich woman says Jump! Still the recent murder of Primo Ekerling does bear a disturbing resemblance to Littles case even though two thug suspects are currently behind bars for the Ekerling murder. Decker cant help but wonder about a connection. His first phone calls are to the two primary investigators in the Little case retired detectives Calvin Vitton and Arnie Lamar. Lamar is cooperative but Vitton is not only reluctant to talk he winds up dead of a suspicious suicide twelve hours later. Plunging into this long-buried murder Decker discovers that even though the two slayings are separated by a decade and a half there is still plenty of greed lust and evil to connect the dots. Deckers team of top investigators not only includes his favorite homicide detectives Scott Oliver and Marge Dunn but also his newly minted Hollywood detective daughter Cindy Kutiel whose help proves to beinvaluable. His wife Rina Lazarus continues to be his backbone of support offering a cool rational outlook despite her growing concern for her husbands welfare and safety. Rinas worries and fears begin to build at a fevered pitch as past and present collide with a vengeance catapulting an unsuspecting Peter Decker closer and closer to the edge of an infinite dark abyss. A relentlessly gripping tale spun by a master Faye Kellermans The Mercedes Coffin races through a dangerous urban world of fleeting fame and false dreams making heart-pumping hairpin turns at each step of a terrifying journey where truth and justice are fine lines between life and death.
