In seventeen
consecutive bestselling novels, Jonathan Kellerman has distinguished
himself as the master of the psychological thriller. Now in Kellerman's
most compelling and powerful novel yet, L.A. psychologist-detective Alex
Delaware confronts a long-unsolved murder of unspeakable brutality --
an ice-cold case whose resolution threatens his survival, and that of
longtime friend, homicide detective, Milo Sturgis.
The nightmare
begins when Alex receives a strange package in the mail with no return
address. Inside is an ornate album filled with gruesome crime scene
photos -- a homicide scrapbook entitled The Murder Book. Alex can find
no reason for anyone to send him this compendium of death, but when Milo
views the book, he is immediately shaken by one of the images: a young
woman, tortured, strangled, and dumped near a freeway ramp. This was one
of Milo's first cases as a rookie homicide cop: a vicious killing that
he failed to solve, because just as he and his training partner began to
make headway, the department closed them down. Being forced to abandon
the young victim tormented Milo. But his fears prevented him from
pursuing the truth, and over the years he managed to forget. Or so he
thought.
Now, two decades later, someone has chosen to stir up
the past. As Alex and Milo set out to uncover what really happened
twenty years ago, their every move is followed and their lives are
placed in jeopardy. The relentless investigation reaches deep into
L.A.'s nerve-centers of power and wealth-past and present. While peeling
back layer after layer of ugly secrets, they discover that the murder
of one forgotten girl has chilling ramifications that extend far beyond
the tragic loss of a single life.
A classic story of good and evil, sacrifice and sin, The Murder Book is a gripping page-turner that illuminates the darkest corridors of the human mind. It is a stunning tour de force.(http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/172938.The_Murder_Book#)
