Peter Decker & Rina Lazarus series : 14
Book purchased from a Croydon op-shop April 2014, to read and release.
From back cover:
"The call was brief, but to the point. There had been a murder in the family of Lieutenant Decker's half brother, Rabbi Jonathan Levine. His brother-in-law, Ephraim Lieber, a Hassidic Jew and former drug addict, was found naked in a seedy Manhattan hotel, a single gunshot wound to his head. And his niece, fifteen-year-old Shaynda, is missing.
Jonathan pleads with his policeman brother to come to New York to help the family. Reluctantly, Decker agrees, taking his wife, Rina, and their young daughter with him for company. But soon after arriving on the East Coast Decker is infuriated to discover that Shaynda's parents have changed their minds about involving him in the case. Faced with a hostile family, a city in which he's a stranger and a local police force mired in international problems, Decker is on his own. Moving from the darkened slums of New Jersey to the deserted industrial streets of New York, he is thrust into a world divided mercilessly into killers and victims.
And Decker must decide which he wants to be . . ."

The blurb on the back neatly sums it up.
A few unpleasant characters, and perhaps as it's been a while since I read Faye Kellerman I was somewhat surprised at the rough language.
Not in such a hurry to read the next one, now.
