Someone has shattered the sanctuary of a remote yeshiva community in the California hills with an unimaginable crime. One of the women was brutally raped as she returned from the mikvah, the bathhouse where the cleansing ritual is performed.<br><br>The crime was called in by Rina Lazarus, and Decker is relieved to discover that she is a calm and intelligent witness. She is also the only one in the sheltered community willing to speak of this unspeakable violation. As Rina tries to steer Decker through the maze of religious laws, the two grow closer. But before they get to the bottom of the horrendous crime, revelations come to light that are so shocking that they threaten to come between the hard-nosed cop and the deeply religious woman with whom he has become irrevocably linked. 2417 1986 The Ritual Bath (Peter Decker/Rina Lazarus, #1) total:1020|5:281|4:438|3:252|2:39|1:9| 1020 4004 1267 87 152351 0380732661 9780380732661 43 9 3.93 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172241886m/152351.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/152351.The_Ritual_Bath 3 1 false Sun Apr 20 20:09:28 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 20 20:09:45 -0700 2008 The Ritual Bath was a alright read.
