But then he vanished without any warning to his family or colleagues. <p><p> Fifteen years later, he reappeared as "Father Jupiter," the founder and charismatic leader of the scientific cult, The Order of the Rings. And now he's dead--a vial of sleeping pills and an empty bottle of vodka standing near his lifeless body. <p><p>Was Ganz's death an accident? Suicide? Or did someone hasten Jupiter prematurely out of this world? <p><p>These are the questions LAPD Lieutenant Peter Decker and his Homicide team are determined to answer as they enter the cult's fortresslike compound.
