Now the incomparable team of psychologist Alex Delaware and homicide cop Milo Sturgis embark on their most dangerous excursion yet, into the dark places where risk runs high and blood runs cold.<br><br>It&#8217;s a story tailor-made for the nightly news: Dylan Meserve and Michaela Brand, young lovers and fellow acting students, vanish on the way home from a rehearsal. Three days later, the two of them are found in the remote mountains of Malibu -battered and terrified after a harrowing ordeal at the hands of a sadistic abductor. <br><br>The details of the nightmarish event are shocking and brutal: The couple was carjacked at gunpoint by a masked assailant and subjected to a horrific regimen of confinement, starvation and assault. <br><br>But before long, doubts arise about the couple&#8217;s story, and as forensic details unfold, the abduction is exposed as a hoax. Charged as criminals themselves, the aspiring actors claim emotional problems, and the court orders psychological evaluation for both. <br><br>Michaela is examined by Alex Delaware, who finds that her claims of depression and stress ring true enough. But they don&#8217;t explain her lies, and Alex is certain that there are hidden layers in this sordid psychodrama that even he hasn&#8217;t been able to penetrate.<br><br>Nevertheless, the case is closed&#8211;only to be violently reopened when Michaela is savagely murdered. When the police look for Dylan, they find that he&#8217;s gone. Is he the killer or a victim himself? Casting their dragnet into the murkiest corners of L.A., Delaware and Sturgis unearth more questions than answers&#8211;including a host of eerily identical killings. What really happened to the couple who cried wolf? And what bizarre and brutal epidemic is infecting the city with terror, madness, and sudden, twisted death?<br><br><br><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i> 1127336 2006 Gone (Alex Delaware Series, #20) total:1507|5:257|4:543|3:568|2:118|1:21| 1507 5418 2018 113 1128622 0718148215 9780718148218 8 2 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181225607m/1128622.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1128622.Gone 0 0 false Fri Oct 02 09:51:13 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 09:51:13 -0700 2009 more...]]> 127220 0739357077 9780739357071 9 2 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171929167m/127220.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/127220.Gone_A_Novel 2 0 false Sun Dec 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Dec 06 13:08:22 -0800 2009 Sun Dec 06 13:09:51 -0800 2009 more...]]> 201972 0345452623 9780345452627 1428 96 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172639616m/201972.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/201972.Gone 2 0 false Sat Apr 19 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 19 05:58:04 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 19 06:45:37 -0700 2008
