Produktinformationen zu „Victims “
Despite the myriad of passionate enemies made while she was alive, when acid-tongued Vita Berlin is discovered brutally murdered in her apartment, psychologist Alex Delaware doubts the grisly act was one of revenge. LAPD's Lieutenant Milo Sturgis is skeptical until a second murder victim shows up, dispatched identically to Vita but with no apparent connection to her. When the list of victims grows, Alex and Milo must face the horrible possibility that a cunning killer has established a malevolent killing pattern based on no pattern at all, selecting random prey, stalking with serenity, then striking without warning. While Milo feels intense pressure from above to bring this shocking opera of blood to its final act, Alex embarks upon a one-man excavation, unearthing a host of tantalizing clues. When the shocking truth is at last confronted, it is even more deeply, darkly chilling than Alex could ever have anticipated.
Klappentext zu „Victims “
"The combination of Alex Delaware [and] Detective Milo Sturgis . . . makes for the most original whodunit duo since Watson and Holmes."- ForbesAcid-tongued Vita Berlin hadn't a friend in the world, but whom did she cross so badly as to end up meticulously arranged in such a gruesome murder scene? One look prompts LAPD detective Milo Sturgis to summon his expert in homicidal maniacs, Alex Delaware. But even Alex is stymied when more slayings occur in the same ghastly fashion-with no apparent connection among the victims. And the only clue left behind-a blank page bearing a question mark-seems to be both a menacing taunt and a chilling cry for help from a tortured, savage soul. To end the bloody spree and prevent citywide panic, Alex navigates the secretive world of mental health treatment, from the sleek office of a Beverly Hills therapist to a shuttered mental institution where he once learned his craft. As each jagged piece of the puzzle fits into place, a portrait emerges ofa sinister mind at its most unimaginable-and an evil soul at its most unspeakable.
"Jonathan Kellerman's psychology skills and dark imagination are a potent literary mix." -Los Angeles Times
