OVER THE EDGE（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　When the phone rings in the middle of the night, child
psychologist Alex Delaware does not hesitate. Driving through the
dream-lit San Fernando Valley, Alex rushes to Jamey Cadmus, the
patient he had failed five years before–and who now calls with a
bizarre cry for help. But by the time Alex reaches Canyon Oaks
Psychiatric Hospital, Jamey is gone, surfacing a day later in the
hands of the police, who believe Jamey is the infamous Lavender
Slasher, a psychotic serial killer. Wooed by a high-powered
attorney to build a defense, Alex will get a chance to do what he
couldn’t five years ago. And when he peers into a family’s troubled
history and Jamey’s brilliant, tormented mind, the psychologist
puts himself at the heart of a high-profile case. Because Alex
knows that in a realm of money, loss, and madness, something
terrible pushed Jamie over the edge–or else someone is getting
away with murder.
