Book description
Building to a white-knuckle climax, The Clinic is a brilliantly plotted
thriller. For three months the police have found no clues to the murder
of Hope Devane, psychology professor and controversial author of a
pop-psych bestseller, an angry indictment of men. Now homicide detective
Milo Sturgis, turns to his friend, psychologist Dr Alex Delaware, for
help. One by one, they unlock the very private compartments of her life:
her marriage, her shadowy work for a Beverly Hills clinic, and her
baffling link to another murder victim. But when Alex delves into her
childhood he begins to understand the formidable woman she was - and the
ties that entangled her life until the horrifying act of betrayal that
ended it. Ingenious and horrifying' Alex Delaware may be The Crime
Reader but his extraordinary skills at understanding criminal behaviour
come from Jonathan Kellerman, the ultimate crime writer. Jonathan
Kellerman has brought his expertise as a clinical psychologist to more
than thirty bestselling crime novels. He is one of the world's most
popular authors, creating plots and characters that are among the most
unusual and convincing in crime fiction. He has won the Goldwyn, Edgar,

and his wife, writer Faye Kellerman, live in California, New Mexico, and
New York. Their four children include novelists Jesse Kellerman and
Aliza Kellerman. www. jonathankellerman. com
