decker, peter (fictional character)

L.A.P.D. homicide detective Peter Decker, already upset that a rapist is prowling his oldest daughter's college campus, is tormented by a case much closer to home in which a teenage girl was murdered on prom night.

LAPD Lieutenant Peter Decker and his team of Homicide detectives wade into a violent situation when they set out to investigate the death of Father Jupiter, a brilliant astrophysicist who vanished from the profession only to reappear ten years later as the leader of the pseudoscientific cult, the Order of the Rings of God.
