"A relentlessly intelligent thriller" Newsweek 'Family disputes are a cop's most dreaded calls, for they are the most likely to erupt in violence that is murderously sudden, stunningly intense.....' Little Woody Swope was gravely ill. Treatment was possible, if painful. But his parent, members of a bizarre sect called the Touchers, threatened to take him out of hospital. Then Woody was gone. So were the Swopes, leaving their motel suite heavily bloodstained. Enter Alex Delaware, child psychologist, young, burned out and semi-retired. He and his LA cop friend Milo find a heap of suspects - an ageing ex-hippy doctor; a back-country police chief; a male stripper; even Nona, Woody's sister, a flame-haired Lolita with hate in her eyes and larceny in her soul. But the truth was more bizarre then even Alex could have imagined...
