Synopsis

When the phone rings in the middle of the night, child psychologist Alex Delaware does not hesitate. Driving through the dream-lit San Fernando Valley, Alex rushes to Jamey Cadmus, the patient he had failed five years before—and who now calls with a bizarre cry for help. But by the time Alex reaches Canyon Oaks Psychiatric Hospital, Jamey is gone, surfacing a day later in the hands of the police, who believe Jamey is the infamous Lavender Slasher, a psychotic serial killer. Wooed by a high-powered attorney to build a defense, Alex will get a chance to do what he couldn’t five years ago. And when he peers into a family’s troubled history and Jamey’s brilliant, tormented mind, the psychologist puts himself at the heart of a high-profile case. Because Alex knows that in a realm of money, loss, and madness, something terrible pushed Jamie over the edge—or else someone is getting away with murder.

About this title

Review

OVER THE EDGE is a compulsive page-turner...filled with insight, charged with suspense, and laced with just enough humour to make the whole thing sparkle. This one is simply too good to miss (Stephen King)

As sleek and high-powered a performance as its predecessors (NEW YORK TIMES)

The first two Alex Delaware books were very good indeed. This one, more complexly plotted, more richly psychological...is the best yet (PUBLISHERS WEEKLY)

Impales the reader...worth a four-star rating (GUARDIAN)
