    <body><![CDATA[I always enjoy the Decker and Lazarus series from Faye Kellerman. The Mercedes Coffin is a very good plot.  Starts with a cold case, a beloved high school teacher murdered execution style and stuffed into the trunk of his Mercedes-Benz.  No one is charged with the crime, no arrests made.  Fast forward 15yrs later and a similar crime in the news catches the eye of a high-tech CEO with ties to the first victim. Lots of great dogged detective work by the familiar cast and many red herrings later we rocket to the conclusion.  One of the best mysteries in this series in recent years although I also love the books where the focus is more closely on the family.]]></body>
