Jonathan Kellerman

In Los Angeles, the law is anything other than an open-and-shut matter. There are those who think it's flexible, and those who strive to enforce it above all else.

When a young woman is found dead at her kitchen table – with DNA belonging to her ex-boyfriend at the scene – psychologist Alex Delaware and Detective Milo Sturgis assume it's an open-and-shut case. But the guy has an airtight alibi. Could an enemy from his shady past have framed him?
