    About this audiobook

    NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Jonathan Kellerman has been universally hailed as the master of psychological suspense, and the blockbuster new thriller featuring Alex Delaware and Milo Sturgis confirms his status as today's preeminent practitioner of saber-sharp storytelling.

    Psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware meets beautiful and emotionally fragile TV actress Zelda Chase when called upon to evaluate her five-year-old son, Ovid. Years later, Alex is unexpectedly reunited with Zelda when she is involuntarily committed after a bizarre psychotic episode. Shortly after Zelda's release, an already sad situation turns tragic when she is discovered dead on the grounds of a palatial Bel Air estate. Having experienced more than enough of L.A.'s dark side to recognize the scent of evil, Alex turns to his friend LAPD Lieutenant Milo Sturgis for help in finding out who ended Zelda's broken life.

    At the same time, Alex is caught up in another quest: the search for Zelda's missing son. And when other victims vanish from the same upscale neighborhood, worry turns to terror.

    As Alex struggles to piece together the brief rise and steep fall of a gorgeous, talented actress, he and Milo unveil shattered dreams, the corruption of a family, and a grotesque betrayal of innocence. With each devastating revelation and damning clue, Alex's brilliant mind is challenged as never before-and his determination grows to see a killer caged and the truth set free.

      It went on and on with no surprises or action. It some points I forgot who the characters were. Then ending was abrupt and again I had to think hard as to who the last to
      characters were. I always must finish anything I start but I was tempted to quite this many times. Can’t believe
      this was written by Johnathan Kellerman I have enjoyed so many other novels from him
    • 5/5
      So nice to encounter Delaware and Sturgis again! Timely themes tied into this mystery. Meant to be an audio book as I traveled, I couldn't wait until my trip home to finish.
    • 4/5
      Kellerman is a reliable annual pleasure. Milo and Alex are one of my favorite teams- by now I feel like I know in advance how they will react to things. These novels are complex (but not too complex), occasionally gory (but not too gory), distressing for the children (but things always get better.) One thing I like about Kellerman is that there's always a twist in the plot. He writes in a straightforward, easy style. Good storyline, authentic characters, and fast moving.
