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.
