Few know the city of Los Angeles the way #1 bestselling author
and acclaimed suspense master Jonathan Kellerman does. His
thrilling novels of psychological drama and criminal detection make
the capital of dreams a living, breathing character in all its
glamour and infamy. That storied history of fame, seduction,
scandal, and murder looms large in Mystery, as Alex Delaware
finds himself drawn into a twisting, shadowy whodunit that’s pure
L.A. noir—and vintage Kellerman.
The closing of their favorite romantic rendezvous, the Fauborg
Hotel in Beverly Hills, is a sad occasion for longtime patrons Alex
Delaware and Robin Castagna. And gathering one last time with their
fellow faithful habitués for cocktails in the gracious old venue
makes for a bittersweet evening. But even more poignant is a
striking young woman—alone and enigmatic among the revelers—waiting
in vain in elegant attire and dark glasses that do nothing to
conceal her melancholy. Alex can’t help wondering what her story
is, and whether she’s connected to the silent, black-suited
bodyguard lingering outside the hotel.
Two days later, Alex has even more to contemplate when police
detective Milo Sturgis comes seeking his psychologist comrade’s
insights about a grisly homicide. To Alex’s shock, the brutalized
victim is the same beautiful woman whose lonely hours sipping
champagne at the Fauborg may have been her last.
But with a mutilated body and no DNA match, she remains as
mysterious in death as she seemed in life. And even when a
tipster’s sordid revelation finally cracks the case open, the dark
secrets that spill out could make Alex and Milo’s best efforts to
close this horrific crime not just impossible but fatal.–From the
Hardcover edition.
