Kit avatar reviewed on + 68 more book reviews


A second-rate actor is found multilated in a car trunk. Then a psychologist at a Los Angeles hospital for the criminally insane is murdered in a similiar grisly fashion. Suddenly the inchoherent ramblings of an inmate at the presumably secure institution begin to make chilling sense-they are, in fact, horrifying predictions. Yet how can a barely functional psychotic locked behind asylum walls possibly know such vivid details of crimes committed in the outside world! Drawn into a labryinth of secrets, revenge, sex, and manipulation, Dr. Alex Delaware and Detective Milo Sturgis set out to unlock this enigma and put an end to the brutal killings-before the madman predicts their own demise.

I found this book to be totally mesmerizing and very difficult to put down. Jonathan Kellerman knows how to keep the reader between the pages and this is another Alex Delaware book that just hits the spot. If you like murder mysteries, this one is for you.
