NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The daughter of a diplomat disappears on a school field trip—lured into the Santa Monica Mountains and killed in cold blood. Her father denies the possibility of a political motive. There are no signs of struggle and no evidence of sexual assault, leaving psychologist Alex Delaware and his friend LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis to pose the essential question: to pose the essential question: Why?
“Feverish in pace and rich in characters . . . a chilling and irresistible thriller.”—People
Working with Daniel Sharavi, a brilliant Israeli police inspector, Delaware and Sturgis soon find themselves ensnared in one of the darkest, most menacing cases of their careers. And when death strikes again, it is Alex who must go undercover, alone, to expose an unthinkable conspiracy of self-righteous brutality and total contempt for human life.
BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Jonathan Kellerman’s Guilt.

Excellent story with enough twists and turns to keep the reader interested. Liked the psychological analysis and the pace of the mystery. It was a good read for me!
kellerman is my favorite mystery writer. always knows how to keep it interesting.
Love all Alex Delaware novels. He is relatable, intelligent, non judgmental. Where some detective novels have the hero always flying off the handle making the same foolish mistakes over and over, Alex is refreshing in that he is logical, thoughtful, and has good sense.
Enjoy all of his books
Kellerman does it again. Unpredictable twisty story line. Pulls together disparate details moving the action forward. Fully developed continuing characters.
A great book hard on housework. Couldn’t put it down
great story and am surprised i had not read it before
One of the best and I don’t know how I missed it until now
I’m a fan of Kellerman, Dr Delaware and Milo, I don’t know if it’s me or the books but they are getting tired and unoriginal
As usual, Jonathan Kellerman does not disappoint. A other great read.
Fast moving, interesting story. Different from so many mysteries.
