Synopses & Reviews

Review:

Praise for Jonathan Kellerman

"Kellerman doesn't just write psychological thrillers--he owns the genre."
--Detroit Free Press

Praise for the New York Times bestseller Billy Straight, by Jonathan Kellerman

"The title character is a noble creation: a kind of urban Huckleberry Finn. . . The writing is vivid, the suspense sustained, and Kellerman has arranged one final, exquisitely surprising plot twist to confound the complacent reader." --People

"Billy Straight is everything a thriller ought to be. The writing is excellent. The plotting is superior. The characters ring true. . . . A taut, compelling story." --USA Today

"Nobody evokes Los Angeles better than Jonathan Kellerman. . . . Riveting."
--Los Angeles Times

Synopsis:

Alex Delaware is back in a riveting and devilishly ingenious story about an asylum inmate who seems able to foresee grisly slayings. How can a nonfunctional psychotic locked up in a supposedly secure institution for homicidal madmen predict brutal murders in the outside world? This is the enigma that Alex Delaware and Detective Milo Sturgis must penetrate in order to put a stop to a series of horrific killings.
