Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Once again, the depths of the criminal mind and the darkest side of a glittering city fuel #1 New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman’s brilliant storytelling. And no one conducts a more harrowing and suspenseful manhunt than the modern Sherlock Holmes of the psyche, Dr. Alex Delaware.

A tipsy young woman seeking aid on a desolate highway disappears into the inky black night. A retired schoolteacher is stabbed to death in broad daylight. Two women are butchered after closing time in a small-town beauty parlor. These and other bizarre acts of cruelty and psychopathology are linked only by the killer’s use of luxury vehicles and a baffling lack of motive. The ultimate whodunits, these crimes demand the attention of LAPD detective Milo Sturgis and his collaborator on the crime beat, psychologist Alex Delaware.

What begins with a solitary bloodstain in a stolen sedan quickly spirals outward in odd and unexpected directions, leading Delaware and Sturgis from the well-heeled center of L.A. society to its desperate edges; across the paths of commodities brokers and transvestite hookers; and as far away as New York City, where the search thaws out a long-cold case and exposes a grotesque homicidal crusade. The killer proves to be a fleeting shape-shifter, defying identification, leaving behind dazed witnesses and death–and compelling Alex and Milo to confront the true face of murderous madness.


From the Trade Paperback edition.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Compulsion for boring
I have read all Jonathan Kellerman books, and always enjoyed them, this time I lost interest completely and finished it skiping a lot of pages as I did not care the book at all. What happened to to Dr. Delaware character? What happened with his psychologist skills? Why was he doing Milo's work? Why is the book so boring? I already bought the Kellerman's latest book: Bones and I am really hoping not having another dissapointment.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Disappointing
I have read all of the Alex Delaware novels, and loved them.
I was disappointed with this one, it seemed to jump around a lot, I lost interest.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Compulsion
Kellerman's Character Alex Delaware is awesome, I can't put the book down until I have read the entire book, so I wait until Friday night and start reading until Saturday... When I read it is like a movie for me, everything else goes away,,, great book



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Always Great
Alex Delaware is great, but then anything by Jonathan Kellerman is always a good read.
