Bad Love

Meer over het boek

It arrived in a plain brown wrapper with no return address—an audiocassette featuring a soul-wrenching scream, followed by a childlike voice repeating, "Bad love. Bad love. Don't give me the bad love..." For Alex Delaware, this chant signals the onset of a living nightmare. Soon, he experiences unsettling laughter over a phone that abruptly cuts off, a chilling intrusion at night, and disturbing vandalism. Alex finds himself ensnared in a meticulously planned campaign of threats and intimidation that escalates from harassment to terror. The phrase "bad love" triggers memories of a symposium he attended years ago, honoring Dr. Andres de Bosch, a renowned child psychologist known for his work with troubled adolescents. With the assistance of LAPD detective Milo Sturgis, Alex uncovers a series of violent deaths—a hit-and-run, a "suicidal" leap, and a gruesome murder—that may connect to de Bosch. As Alex investigates the clinic's history, the pattern of violence becomes alarmingly clear. If he cannot unravel the stalker's twisted logic, he risks becoming the next victim. Taut, penetrating, and terrifying, this narrative showcases Kellerman's signature style.
