Riassunto

Juliet Kipper, a gifted painter, is strangled in the LA gallery where her first solo show has opened to critical acclaim, and Milo Sturgis takes on the murder investigation as a favour to an old friend. He consults Alex Delaware, who, researching parallels with other deaths, looks for artists killed when on the verge of a breakthrough or comeback. And he finds two others. The investigation points to a gruesome, sadistic pattern of death, taking Milo and Alex into the dark side of the art world, and Alex's ex-lover Robin into terrible danger.

Recensione:

'Kellerman avoids the triple twists that have become such a cliche in favour of old-fashioned adrenalin ... Plot and sub-plot coalesce satisfyingly in high-octane entertainment that never loses it's characters' vulnerability. This is hard-nosed thriller writing with a soft centre' The Times 7 June 2003 (The Times)

'Detective fiction's best-loved shrink, handsome, intrepid, immeasurably sensitive, is in top form' Kirkus Reviews 15/4/03 (Kirkus Reviews)

'This is hard-nosed thriller writing with a soft centre' The Times 7 June 2003 (The Times)

'This is top-drawer stuff...Kellerman's experience as a psychologist adds layers of verisimilitude to this tautly written thriller' Crime Time 2003 (Crime Time 2003)

'Kellerman skilfully keeps the plot going and our interest aroused. But before we learn the truth there are many more twists and turns...It is a journey well worth taking with Delaware and by the end of the novel Kellerman has succeeded in telling a very clever story without losing the interest of the reader' Australian Jewish News 15 August 2003 (Australian Jewish News)
