Alex Delaware - 22: Beklemming

Meer over het boek

The depths of the criminal mind and the darkest side of a glittering city fuel a gripping narrative by #1 New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman. Dr. Alex Delaware, a modern Sherlock Holmes of the psyche, leads a harrowing manhunt. A tipsy young woman vanishes on a desolate highway, a retired schoolteacher is murdered in broad daylight, and two women are brutally killed in a small-town beauty parlor. These bizarre acts of cruelty are linked by the killer’s use of luxury vehicles and a perplexing lack of motive. LAPD detective Milo Sturgis and psychologist Alex Delaware are drawn into this web of crime, starting with a solitary bloodstain in a stolen sedan that spirals into unexpected directions. Their investigation takes them from the affluent heart of L.A. to its desperate fringes, crossing paths with commodities brokers and transvestite hookers, and even reaching New York City, where a long-cold case resurfaces, revealing a grotesque homicidal crusade. The elusive killer defies identification, leaving behind dazed witnesses and death, compelling Alex and Milo to confront the chilling reality of murderous madness.
