Now, Delaware's new adventure leads the sleuthing psychologist on a harrowing exploration into the realm he knows best: the human psyche, in all its complexity, mystery, and terrifying propensity for darkness. <i>"Been a while since I had me a nice little whodunit,"</i> homicide detective Milo Sturgis tells Alex Delaware. But there's definitely nothing nice about the brutal tableau behind the yellow crime-scene tape. On a lonely lover's lane in the hills of Los Angeles, a young couple lies murdered in a car. Each bears a single gunshot wound to the head. The female victim has also been impaled by a metal spike. And that savage stroke of psychopathic fury tells Milo this case will call for more than standard police procedure. As he explains to Delaware, <i>"Now we're veering into your territory."</i> It is dark territory, indeed. The dead woman remains unidentified and seemingly unknown to everyone. But her companion has a name: Gavin Quick - and his troubled past eventually landed him on a therapist's couch. It's there, on familiar turf, that Delaware hopes to find vital clues. And that means going head-to-head with Dr. Mary Lou Koppel, a popular celebrity psychologist who fiercely guards the privacy of her clients . . . dead or alive. But when there's another gruesomely familiar murder, Delaware surmises that his investigation has struck a nerve. As he trolls the twisted wreckage of Quick's tormented last days, what he finds isn't madness, but the cold-blooded method behind it. And as he follows a chain of greed, corruption, and betrayal snaking hideously through the profession he thought he knew, he'll discover territory where even he never dreamed of treading. As provocative as it is suspenseful, <i>Therapy</i> is premier Kellerman that finds the award-winning author firing on all creative cylinders - and carrying readers on an electrifying ride to a place only he can take them, for an experience they won't soon forget. <i>From the Hardcover edition.</i> 1281592 2004 Therapy (Alex Delaware, #18) total:1406|5:240|4:511|3:570|2:75|1:10| 1406 5114 1834 63 4 1 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 31 18:32:29 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 31 18:37:05 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Mar 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 06 14:10:31 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 17 18:59:47 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Thu Jul 03 11:45:17 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 03 11:45:17 -0700 2008
