From the back cover:
"The daughter of a diplomat disappears on a school field trip--lured into the Santa Monica mountains and killed in cold blood. Her father denies the possibility of a political motive. There are no signs of struggle, no evidence of sexual assault, leaving psychologist Alex Delaware and his friend LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis to pose the disturbing question: Why?
Working together with Daniel Sharavi, the brilliant Israeli police inspector introduced in Jonathan Kellerman's The Butcher's Theater, Delaware and Sturgis soon find themselves ensnared in one of the darkest, most menacing cases of their careers. And when death strikes again, it is Alex who must go undercover, alone, to expose an unthinkable conspiracy of self-righteous brutality and total contempt for human life."
I've read other Alex Delaware stories, but can't for the life of me remember the titles, but I know it wasn't this one. Interesting to note: the page with the list of other Kellerman novels has the publishing years beside each title. This is the first time I've seen that, and I think it's great - I hate looking at a list and wondering if they're listed most recent first, or most recent last, or just any old order. This will help with reading them in order, for sure.

Taking to the Windsor BXers' first Meetup group tonight.
An absolutely fabulous read. I couldn't put it down. I love Alex Delaware. (And Jonathan Kellerman isn't so bad either.)
Received in trade at the first Windsor Bookcrossing Meet-Up last night! :) Thanks!
