LAPD Lieutenant Milo Sturgis is a fine homicide detective, but when he needs to get into the mind of a killer, he leans on the expertise of his best friend, the brilliant psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware. While Sturgis has a knack for piecing together the details of a crime, Delaware can decipher the darkest intents driving the most vicious of perpetrators. And there’s no better place for the doctor’s analytical skills to shine than a rowdy hall full of young men and women intoxicated on life and lust...and suddenly faced with the specter of death.

Story4 out of 5 stars 654
Eccentric, reclusive Walter Rennert lies cold at the bottom of his stairs. At first glance the scene looks straightforward: a once-respected psychology professor done in by booze and a bad heart. But his daughter, Tatiana, insists that her father has been murdered, and she persuades Clay Edison to take a closer look at the grim facts of Rennert's life. What emerges is a history of scandal and violence and an experiment gone horribly wrong that ended in the brutal murder of a coed.

In Jonathan Kellerman's gripping novels, the city of Los Angeles is as much a living, breathing character as the heroes and villains who roam its labyrinthine streets. Sunny on the surface but shadowy beneath, this world of privilege and pleasure has a dark core and a dangerous edge. In True Detectives, Kellerman skillfully brings his renowned gifts for breathless suspense and sharp psychological insight to a tale that resonates on every level and satisfies at every turn.

Brilliant, beautiful, and stunningly effective, psychologist Dr. Grace Blades has a special gift for treating troubled souls and healing tormented psyches - perhaps because she bears her own invisible scars.

But as an adult, Grace's accomplished professional life vies with a covert, high-risk dark side, played out harrowingly. And when Grace's two worlds shockingly converge, her past returns with a vengeance.

Detective Jacob Lev wakes one morning, dazed and confused: He seems to have picked up a beautiful woman in a bar the night before, but he can’t remember anything about the encounter, and before he knows it, she has gone. But this mystery pales in comparison to the one he’s about to be called on to solve. Newly reassigned to a Special Projects squad he didn’t even know existed, he’s sent to a murder scene far up in the hills of Hollywood Division. There is no body, only an unidentified head lying on the floor of a house.

The "maddog" murderer who is terrorizing the Twin Cities is two things: insane and extremely intelligent. He kills for the pleasure of it and thoroughly enjoys placing elaborate obstacles to keep police befuddled. Each clever move he makes is another point of pride. But when the brilliant Lieutenant Lucas Davenport, a dedicated cop and a serial killer's worst nightmare, is brought in to take up the investigation, the maddog suddenly has an adversary worthy of his genius.

For LAPD homicide cop Harry Bosch - hero, maverick, nighthawk - the body in the drainpipe at Mulholland Dam is more than another anonymous statistic. This one is personal. The dead man, Billy Meadows, was a fellow Vietnam "tunnel rat" who fought side by side with him in a nightmare underground war that brought them to the depths of hell.

Mediocre but Hoye's read good

Publisher's Summary
I løbet af efterforskningen bliver Delaware og Sturgis i tvivl om, hvorvidt en uskyldig mand er blevet dømt for de tidligere mord, og om hans kriminelle tendenser i virkeligheden skyldes fejlmedicinering og ikke en egentlig psykisk lidelse.
Jonathan Kellerman (f. 1949) følger i sine romaner psykologen Alex Delaware, som hjælper politiet med at opklare forbrydelser. Kellerman er selv børnepsykolog, og dette gør ham i stand til at kombinere den traditionelle kriminalroman med elementer fra den psykologiske thriller.
Kellermans bøger er blevet oversat til adskillige sprog, og han har vundet flere priser for sine mange bestsellere. Ud over Delaware-romanerne har han skrevet essays, non-fiction, anden skønlitteratur og illustreret børnebøger.
Psykologen Alex Delaware samarbejder med Los Angeles' politi om at opklare særligt indviklede forbrydelser. Romanen adskiller sig fra den klassiske kriminalroman ved sine realistiske psykologiske elementer og sympatiske og komplicerede hovedperson.
Ved sin empatiske og forstående tilgang til de mennesker, der er involverede i forbrydelserne, er Alex Delaware langt mere effektiv end den typiske hårdkogte detektiv.
