Compulsion by Jonathan Kellerman




Once again, the depths of the criminal mind and the darkest side of a
glittering city fuel #1 New York Times bestselling author Jonathan
Kellerman's brilliant storytelling. And no one conducts a more harrowing
and suspenseful manhunt than the modern Sherlock Holmes of the psyche, Dr.
Alex Delaware.

A tipsy young woman seeking aid on a desolate highway disappears into the
inky black night. A retired schoolteacher is stabbed to death in broad
daylight. Two women are butchered after closing time in a small-town
beauty parlor. These and other bizarre acts of cruelty and psychopathology
are linked only by the killer's use of luxury vehicles and a baffling lack
of motive. The ultimate whodunits, these crimes demand the attention of
LAPD detective Milo Sturgis and his collaborator on the crime beat,
psychologist Alex Delaware.

What begins with a solitary bloodstain in a stolen sedan quickly spirals
outward in odd and unexpected directions, leading Delaware and Sturgis
from the well-heeled center of L.A. society to its desperate edges; across
the paths of commodities brokers and transvestite hookers; and as far away
as New York City, where the search thaws out a long-cold case and exposes
a grotesque homicidal crusade. The killer proves to be a fleeting
shape-shifter, defying identification, leaving behind dazed witnesses and
death-and compelling Alex and Milo to confront the true face of murderous
madness.
