Book description
Juliet Kipper, a gifted painter, is strangled in the LA gallery where
her first solo show has opened to critical acclaim, and Milo Sturgis
takes on the murder investigation as a favour to an old friend. He
consults Alex Delaware, who, researching parallels with other deaths,
looks for artists killed when on the verge of a breakthrough or
comeback. And he finds two others. The investigation points to a
gruesome, sadistic pattern of death, taking Milo and Alex into the dark
side of the art world, and Alex's ex-lover Robin into terrible danger.
A sense of humanity and justice' 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
