About this ebook
When child psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware is called in to evaluate a young cancer patient who then disappears, he must search for answers in this psychological suspense novel—the second book in the New York Times bestselling Alex Delaware series.
Dr. Alexander Delaware, a child psychologist in Los Angeles, is called in to evaluate the case of a leukemia patient whose parents want to discontinue chemotherapy. When the boy disappears from the hospital and his parents are found dead, Delaware is drawn into a dangerous investigation involving alternative medicine, murder, and a mysterious cult.
Delaware's search for the missing child takes him to a small town near the Mexican border where he unearths the dark secrets kept by the boy's family and the townspeople. He also uncovers drugs and group sex in the commune and survives several harrowing attempts on his life.
Kellerman draws on his experience as a clinical psychologist to enrich and broaden his considerable storytelling talents in this "suspenseful thriller whose solution lies in the darker recesses of the human soul" (The Wall Street Journal).

Once moŕe Kellerman delivers mysterious mayhem and a story holding you captìve. Dr. Delaware and Milo Sturgis navigate the L.A. freeways and glitter of Hollywood with the hard reality of the wannabes and the violent dingy world of mean streets and psychotics. Always a surprise twist at the end. Excellent!
