In a host of consecutive bestsellers, Jonathan Kellerman has
kept readers spellbound with the intense, psychologically
acute adventures of Dr. Alex Delaware–and with excursions
through the raw underside of L.A. and the coldest alleys of
the criminal mind.Rage offers a powerful new case in
point, as Delaware and LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis
revisit a horrifying crime from the past that has taken on
shocking and deadly new dimensions.
Troy Turner and
Rand Duchay were barely teenagers when they kidnapped and
murdered a younger child. Troy, a remorseless sociopath,
died violently behind bars. But the hulking, slow-witted
Rand managed to survive his stretch. Now, at age twenty-one,
he’s emerged a haunted, rootless young man with a pressing
need: to talk–once again–with psychologist Alex Delaware.
But the young killer comes to a brutal end, that
conversation never takes place.
Has karma caught up
with Rand? Or has someone waited for eight patient years to
dine on ice-cold revenge? Both seem strong possibilities to
Sturgis, but Delaware’s suspicions run deeper . . . and
darker. Because fear in the voice of the grownup Rand
Duchay–and his eerie final words to Alex: “I’m not a bad
person”–betray untold secrets. Buried revelations so
horrendous, and so damning, they’re worth killing
for.
As Delaware and Sturgis retrace their steps
through a grisly murder case that devastated a community,
they discover a chilling legacy of madness, suicide, and
multiple killings left in its wake–and even uglier truths
waiting to be unearthed. And the nearer they come to
understanding an unspeakable crime, the more harrowingly
close they get to unmasking a monster hiding in plain
sight.
Rage finds Jonathan Kellerman in phenomenal
form–orchestrating a relentlessly suspenseful, devilishly
unpredictable plot to a finale as stunning and
thought-provoking as it is satisfying.
