A friend of mine gave me a Jonathan Kellerman book and I was hooked instantly! Now I am going back and reading all of his books.
This story was well written and I love the relationship between Dr. Delaware and Milo (the cop)!
One of many of the books about psychologist Alex Delaware and his business of consulting with the police whenever children are involved in a murder, or some foul play. His characters are great. Good read.
Excellent Alex Delaware/Milo Sturgis book
I enjoyed this book, it had everything: Cops, Kids, a love interest and even Nazis. Dr. Alex Delaware gets into the thick of things because he is trying to be a good guy. I hope Dr. Delaware never gives up being a good guy.
By the time psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware reached the school the damage was done: A sniper had opened fire on a crowded playground, but was gunned down before any children were hurt.
While the T.V. news crews feasted on the scene and Alex began his therapy sessions with the traumatized children, he couldn't escape the image of a slight teenager clutching an oversized rifle. What was the identity behind the name and face: A would-be assassin, or just another victim beneath an indifferent California sky?
Intrigued by a request from the sniper's father to conduct a "psycological autopsy" of his child, Alex begins to uncover a strange pattern of innocence, neglect, and loss. Then suddenly it is more than a pattern-it is a trail of blood. In the dead sniper's past was a dark and vicious plot. And in Alex Delaware's future is the stuff of grown-up nightmares: the face of real human evil.
