Publisher's summary

When the phone rings in the middle of the night, child psychologist Alex Delaware does not hesitate. Driving through the dream-lit San Fernando Valley, Alex rushes to Jamey Cadmus, the patient he had failed five years before - and who now calls with a bizarre cry for help. But by the time Alex reaches Canyon Oaks Psychiatric Hospital, Jamey is gone, surfacing a day later in the hands of the police, who believe Jamey is the infamous Lavender Slasher, a psychotic serial killer.

Wooed by a high-powered attorney to build a defense, Alex will get a chance to do what he couldn't five years ago. And when he peers into a family's troubled history and Jamey's brilliant, tormented mind, the psychologist puts himself at the heart of a high-profile case. Because Alex knows that in a realm of money, loss, and madness, something terrible pushed Jamie over the edge - or else someone is getting away with murder.

Happiness is finding a new( to me) Alex Delaware novel.

I wholly enjoyed this listen. Having said that, clearly Dr. Kellerman has improved as a story teller over the course of this series. Now his tales remind me of Rex Stout in his prime. Finally, oh how I would rejoice in hearing Mr. Rubinstein vocalize this novel, for he is undoubtedly the true voice of Alex Delaware et al

Exciting

Mr. Kellerman again allows the character to develop so the reader has a good understanding of the main characters’ development and why he is in so much pain. at the end of the story it ends with hope for the character.
