Welcome to Times Will Tell, The Times of Israel’s weekly feature podcast.

This week we’re speaking to bestselling author Faye Kellerman about her latest book, "The Hunt," the final installment in her Decker/Lazarus series, coming out next month.

As usual, there’s some intense drama, plenty of crime, punishment and suspense in "The Hunt," as well as the usual details about the observant Jewish life led by Kellerman's beloved characters, Detective Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus.

Kellerman speaks about her writing career, what led her to this series, as well as why she chose to bring so much of her own lifestyle to her characters. She talks about what it's like to write about detective work now, as opposed to thirty years ago, and what different characters can teach us about life and decisions.

Kellerman, soon approaching her 70th birthday, talks about what she's doing with her life now, and whether or not she'll be saying goodbye forever to Detective Decker and his beloved wife, Rina.
