MURDER BOOK, THE（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　Alex Delaware’s relationship with his longterm partner, Robin
Castagna, is on the rocks. He is floored when Robin announces that
she is heading off on a three-month music tour in aid of famine and
child welfare. But he soon has other things to think about. In the
post, he receives an envelope with no return address. Inside, he
finds a three-ring binder with gold letters on it – The Murder
Book. The album is full of macabre pictures of murders, taken at
the scene of the crime, with brief de*ions of how, and why,
the victims died. But only one picture is marked ‘Not solved’ – the
horrifically mutilated body of a young woman, dumped in a ditch on
the freeway. Unsettled, Alex calls his friend, LAPD detective Milo
Sturgis, who seems strangely familiar with the case. What is the
connection between this photograph and Milo’s past, and could the
gruesome collection be the work of a police insider? If so, why has
it been sent to Alex – and by whom? Ingenious, shocking,
unpredictable, The Murder Book is a mesmerising masterpiece of
suspense fiction that is Jonathan Kellerman at his best.
