About this book
Description
A psychological thriller and part of the Alex Delaware series. In this novel, Alex Delaware, a psychologist, is once again pulled into a dark and twisted case that challenges both his professional skills and personal boundaries.
The story begins when a wealthy teenager named Matthew, the son of a prominent family, is found murdered. The circumstances surrounding the murder are peculiar, as Matthew had been well-liked and had no known enemies. However, his death seems to be connected to a troubling pattern of escalating violence among the city's youth, suggesting a larger social issue at play. . . . . Delaware is asked by his long-time friend, LAPD detective Milo Sturgis, to help investigate the case. As Delaware digs deeper into Matthew's life, he uncovers a world of privilege, pressure, and anger among the affluent youth in the area. He also begins to see connections to his past cases, which further complicates the investigation.
Throughout the novel, Kellerman explores themes of violence, the psychology behind rage, and how unresolved emotions can manifest in destructive ways. Delaware must navigate through layers of secrets, manipulation, and hidden motives to uncover the truth behind Matthew's death.
