Kellerman, Jonathan - Compulsion
Kellerman, Jonathan
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.
