With millions of books in print and translations in two dozen languages, Jonathan Kellerman is hailed as the “master of the psychological thriller.” In his latest novel, he presents a poignant and chilling narrative that explores a world ruled by impulse. Tanya Bigelow, once a solemn girl treated for obsessive-compulsive symptoms by Dr. Alex Delaware, is now nineteen and grappling with deeper issues. Her adoptive mother, Patty Bigelow, has made a deathbed confession of murder, urging Tanya to seek Delaware's help. Remembering Patty as a dedicated E.R. nurse, Delaware is puzzled by her admission of a “terrible thing.” Nevertheless, he agrees to investigate, enlisting LAPD detective Milo Sturgis to help uncover the truth behind a potential crime that may never have occurred. The duo follows a trail through L.A.’s contrasting neighborhoods, retracing the lives of Patty and Tanya as they encounter a range of characters, including a heroin addict and a mysterious physics student. As they dig deeper, a very real murder emerges, revealing a dark past filled with secrets and buried bodies. As tension escalates, Delaware and Sturgis confront a legacy of desperation, vengeance, and death that refuses to fade away.
