Description
With scores of millions of books in print, translation into two dozen languages, and one of the most popular heroes in contemporary fiction to his name, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman is the unequivocal โmaster of the psychological thrillerโ (People). In his newest novel Kellerman delivers a tour de forceโpoignant, dark, and chillingโthat illuminates a shadowy world where impulse rules.
Tanya Bigelow was a solemn little girl when Dr. Alex Delaware successfully treated her obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Now, at nineteen, she still seems older than her yearsโbut her problems go beyond hyper-maturity. Patty Bigelow, Tanyaโs aunt and adoptive mother, has made a deathbed confession of murder and urged the young woman to seek Delawareโs help. The doctor recalls Patty as a selfless E.R. nurse struggling to raise a child on her ownโa woman seemingly incapable of the โterrible thingโ she has admitted. But for Tanyaโs peace of mind, Delaware agrees to investigate, and he enlists LAPD detective Milo Sturgis in the search for the phantom victim of a crime that may never have occurred.
