DR. DEATH（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　Who killed the killer? In his brilliant and startling new
novel, Jonathan Kellerman, perennial bestselling author and premier
proprietor of the psychological thriller, gives a sharp and timely
twist to homicide’s central question. Someone has murdered
euthanasia champion Dr. Eldon Mate–a self-styled Dr. Death
responsible for scores of assisted suicides. In a burst of bloody
irony, the killer chooses to dispatch the doctor in the back of
Mate’s own suicide van, hooking him up to the killing apparatus
dubbed “the Humanitron”–and adding some butchering touches of his
own. The case is assigned to veteran LAPD homicide detective Milo
Sturgis, who turns, once again, to his friend Dr. Alex Delaware.
But working this case raises a conflict of interest for Alex so
profound that he can’t even discuss it with Milo. The tension that
develops between cop and psychologist further complicates an
already baffling and complex murder investigation–one whose
suspects include the families of Dr. Mate’s “travelers,” Mate’s own
son, and a psychopathic killer who relishes the geometry of death.
Dr. Death is a rich brew of unforgettable characters, labyrinthine
plotting, page-turning prose, and the unique insights into the
darkest corners of the human mind that have earned Jonathan
Kellerman international accolades as the master of psychological
suspense. “From the Hardcover edition.”
