In the first Alex Delaware novel, Dr. Morton Handler
practiced a strange brand of psychiatry. Among his
specialties were fraud, extortion, and sexual manipulation.
Handler paid for his sins when he was brutally murdered in
his luxurious Pacific Palisades apartment. The police have
no leads, but they do have one possible witness:
seven-year-old Melody Quinn. It's psychologist Dr.
Alex Delaware's job to try to unlock the terrible
secret buried in Melody's memory. But as the
sinister shadows in the girl's mind begin to take shape,
Alex discovers that the mystery touches a
shocking incident in his own past. This connection
is only the beginning, a single link in
a forty-year-old conspiracy. And behind it lies an
unspeakable evil that Alex Delaware must expose before
it claims another innocent victim: Melody Quinn.
