NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Jonathan Kellerman returns with this
stunning thriller--a mesmerizing L.A. noir portrayal of the darkest
impulses of human nature carried to shocking extremes.
The City of Angels has more than its share of psychopaths, and no one
recognizes that more acutely than the brilliant psychologist and police
consultant Dr. Alex Delaware. Despite that, Constance Sykes, a
sophisticated, successful physician, hardly seems like someone Alex
needs to fear. Then, at the behest of the court, he becomes embroiled in
a bizarre child custody dispute initiated by Connie against her sister
and begins to realize that there is much about the siblings he has
failed to comprehend. And when the court battle between the Sykes
sisters erupts into cold, calculating murder and a rapidly growing
number of victims, Alex knows he's been snared in a toxic web of
pathology.
Nothing would please Alex more than to be free of the ugly spectacle
known as Sykes v. Sykes. But then the little girl at the center of the
vicious dispute disappears and Alex knows he must work with longtime
friend Detective Milo Sturgis, braving an obstacle course of Hollywood
washouts, gangbangers, and self-serving jurists in order to save an
innocent life.
Killer is Kellerman--and Delaware--at their finest.
