Description

Jonathan Kellerman is just a master at creating psychologically nuanced novels of suspense—a writer whose name is synonymous with unrelenting action, intriguing plot twists, and penetrating insight in to the criminal mind. Now he ventures into bold, new territory together with his biggest and best novel yet. A Cold Heart features Kellerman’s amazing trademark style—but in this tour-de-force he mines even deeper the emotional landscape of his characters: psychologist-sleuth Alex Delaware, LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis, Milo’s colleague Petra Connor, and Alex’s ex-partner, Robin Castagna—bringing all of them vividly alive as never before.“I’ve got a weird one, so naturally I considered you,” says Milo Sturgis, summoning his friend Alex to the trendy gallery in which a promising young artist hasbeen brutally garroted on the night time of her first major showing. Why is it “a strange one” may be the insufficient any obvious motive, and the luridly careful staging of the murder scene—which immediately suggests to Alex no impulsive crime of passion.
