Betroffen betrachten Peter Decker und Rina Lazarus die Nazi-Parolen an der Synagoge. Der Verdächtige Ernesto Cesar Golding, Sohn wohlhabender, liberaler Eltern, scheint ein großes Problem zu haben. Als er und sein Therapeut ermordet werden, eskaliert der Fall. Denn in der schamlosen Welt der Ultra-Reichen sind es die Kinder, die auf der Strecke bleiben.
A place of worship is vandalised, daubed swastikas testifying to a hatred that, for a time at least, defies understanding.
But the Deckers, Rina and her detective husband Peter, soon realise the violence done to their synagogue can be traced to one deeply disturbed adolescent, Ernesto Golding. Born into privilege but obsessed by the past, he is eventually charged, his case closed. But Peter Decker still worries that others were involved. And six months later Ernesto is found murdered. Suddenly Decker and his family are plunged into a ghastly world of damaged youth, ruthless parents and secrets, with roots deep in the horrors of the last generation, which seem to demand ultimate retribution...
