Book description
People are voluntarily dying before their time in California. Some call
it assisted suicide when cancer, heart disease or painful old age make
the quality of life unbearable. Others say it is murder, that no-one has
the right to help others take their own life. As the debate rages over
whether euthanasia should be legalised or not, the man at the centre of
the row, nicknamed Doctor Death, continues his work. Dr Alex Delaware
joins in the argument, but when Detective Milo Sturgis comes to him with
the suspicion that some of Doctor Death's patients are not willing
collaborators, Delaware finds himself on the frontline of the affair,
and increasingly believes that euthanasia is not the prime motivation.
So what is driving Doctor Death to kill so many? An alert eye for
detail' 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 Anthony awards and has been
nominated for a Shamus Award. Jonathan 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.
