The Ritual Bath by Fave Kellerman (Contains affiliate Link)
Detective Peter Decker of the LAPD is stunned when he gets the report.
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.
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 this 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. (From Amazon.com product listing.)
