Street Dreams is a crime thriller in Faye Kellerman’s Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus series, shifting part of the focus to LAPD officer Cindy Decker as she investigates the discovery of an abandoned newborn. What begins as a disturbing case of child endangerment opens into a darker search for the baby’s mother, forcing Cindy to confront violence, trauma, family expectations and the pressure of proving herself as a police officer. Alongside the investigation, her relationship with her father, Lieutenant Peter Decker, adds tension between professional judgment and personal protection. The novel speaks to readers interested in police procedurals, psychological suspense and crime fiction where the investigation is shaped not only by evidence, but by loyalty, fear and the difficulty of keeping distance from a case that feels personal.
