Synopsis

The slightly retarded fifteen-year-old daughter of a diplomat dies on a school field trip - forced or lured into a deserted corner of the Santa Monica mountains and killed in cold blood. Her father adamantly denies the possibility of a political motive, which leaves LAPD detective Milo Sturgis and his longtime friend psychologist Alex Delaware to pose the question: Why? There are no signs of struggle, no evidence of sexual assault - and there are no easy answers. Just one innocent youngster...dead.
The victim's father is so intent on controlling the investigation that Alex and Milo start to wonder if he wants to bring out the truth - or make sure it stays buried. Then there is another killing, and within days Alex finds himself ensnared in one of the darkest, most menacing cases of his career.

About this title

Review:

Simply too good to miss (STEPHEN KING)

Fast-paced, well thought out, with an unexpected denouement (SUNDAY TELEGRAPH)

Kellerman never fails to maintain interest, and I found this one a particularly good example of his work. (IRISH TIMES)

Inspried and entirely credible detective work... Required reading. (LITERARY REVIEW)
