Gun Games by Faye Kellerman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Decker is approached by the mother of a supposed teenage suicide victim to double check that there was no foul play. Meanwhile, the Decker's Catholic teenage foster son begins dating a traditionally persian jewish girl. The two teenagers are deeply devoted, but cannot let her parents find out about their relationship. The boy, Gabe, is approached by a gang of boys in the local coffee shop but stands up to them and they leave. Decker's team starts to unearth some unsettling facts about the suicide. Then another teenager commits suicide. From then on, it's a thrilling ride to the end.

I enjoy Faye Kellerman's Decker and Lazarus series because of the religious underpinnings, the perfect depiction of teenagers in all their angst and glory, and her original plots.
