Peter Decker 3-Book Thriller Collection
False Prophet, Grievous Sin, Sanctuary
THREE SPINE-TINGLING THRILLERS FROM FAYE KELLERMAN’S BESTSELLING PETER DECKER AND RINA LAZARUS CRIME SERIES. FALSE The fifth novel in the Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus series. A victim of brutal assault claims to have psychic powers that enable her to see even more devastating events looming on the horizon. Decker finds it hard to put much credence in the victim’s outrageous claims, but when her dark visions turn frighteningly real, Decker’s world will be rocked—as the false prophet’s secrets and obsessions entrap him . . . and point a killer toward Decker’s own vulnerable family. GRIEVOUS The sixth novel in the series. The birth of their baby girl has filled Rina Lazarus and her husband, LAPD Homicide Detective Peter Decker, with joy mingled with sorrow, since complications have ensured that they can have no more children. But the situation is grim at the hospital, which has been devastated by severe budget cutbacks and staff shortages. And when a respected nurse vanishes along with a newborn from the nursery, Peter and Rina fear for the safety of their own precious child—especially when the missing nurse’s car is found at the bottom of a cliff … with a corpse inside. The seventh novel in the series. A diamond dealer and his entire family have mysteriously disappeared from their sprawling Las Angeles manor, leaving the estate undisturbed and their valuables untouched. Investigating detective Decker is stumped, faced with a perplexing case riddled with dead ends. Then a second dealer is found murdered in Manhattan, catapulting Decker and his wife, Rina, into a heart-stopping maze of murder and intrigue that spans the globe … only to touch down dangerously in their own backyard.
Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Fiction. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

A more thoughtful way into this book
This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.
Best when you want to settle into a longer reading experience.
Begin with its place in Fiction, then notice where the book resists that label.
Read for connection, not completion.
Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.
Three questions to carry with you
- What does the central character want, and what do they misunderstand about that desire?
- Which detail or relationship changes how you interpret the story?
- What feeling or question does the book leave with you after the plot moves on?
