Jonathan Kellerman has made the psychological thriller his own gripping province with his series of Alex Delaware novels. Now, Delaware's new adventure leads the sleuthing psychologist on a harrowing exploration into the realm he knows best: the human psyche, in all its complexity, mystery, and terrifying propensity for darkness. “Been a while since I had me a nice little whodunit,” homicide detective Milo Sturgis tells Alex Delaware. But there's definitely nothing nice about the brutal tableau behind the yellow crime-scene tape. On a lonely lover's lane in the hills of Los Angeles, a young couple lies murdered in a car. Each bears a single gunshot wound to the head. The female victim has also been impaled by a metal spike. And that savage stroke of psychopathic fury tells Milo this is no garden-variety crime. Both victims were in psychotherapy, and as Alex and Milo delve into their tangled lives, they uncover layer upon layer of secrets, obsessions, and dangerous entanglements—leading them toward a confrontation with a cunning and elusive killer.
