I finished Sacred and Profane by Faye Kellerman. It's part of the Decker/Lazarus series. Peter Decker is a police detective and Rina Lazarus is an orthodox Jew. They met in the first book of the series, Ritual Bath, when Rina was the crime victim. Fell in love. It's not easy, given the religious differences. This is the second book. Things between them are not smooth and at the end of the book, although the crime is solved, everything else is up in the air. Not a romance by any means. Police procedural and adult (not xxx) relationship conversations. I enjoyed it and ordered the next book.
Started a book titled CCC by DKW. That's way too many initials for me. Anyway, here is from the Amazon description page: Three brilliant young adults are forcibly recruited by a secret agency, one that has unlimited funding and technology decades ahead of anyone else on the planet. While they were always a focus of the agency, their recruitment was expedited to stop a serious attack about to happen. China plans on attacking the U.S. with a computer virus, a Stuxnet variation, designed to sink the economy. The three young adults, Al, Kerry and John, have but a day to stop the virus before the U.S. is placed in a financial crisis it will never come back from.

Fast reading. I'm about to go to bed to finish it off. Just started it a few hours ago.
