A Cold Heart: An Alex Delaware Novel
3 journalers for this copy...
Note that this is an Advance Reading Copy (large paperback), and not the hardcover.
I haven't read it, because it's the most recent entry in the Alex Delaware series, and I haven't read those in quite some time. Amazon summarizes:
"...Dr. Alex Delaware picks up on clues missed even by his closest friend, LAPD detective Milo Sturgis. Leave it to this canny shrink to figure out that the only thing two otherwise unconnected murder victims have in common (they're both artists making comebacks after early career burnouts) may hold the key to their deaths. Even for Alex, this unlikely link is a stretch, especially since Baby Boy Lee was stabbed outside a nightclub and Julie Kipper was bludgeoned in the bathroom of an art gallery. But when a concert pianist dies on the eve of his greatest triumph, Alex is sure that the murders are not only the work of the same killer but also connected to the unsolved slayings of a Boston ballerina and an L. A. rock singer. By an even greater coincidence, two of the victims were tangentially involved with Alex's former lover, Robin Castagna, which provides the good doctor a few well-placed paragraphs to ruminate on what went wrong in their romance as well as rescue her from the serial murderer who's targeted her as his next victim."

c. 2003 -- 388 pages -- Trade Paperback -- Advance Reader's Copy -- #17 Alex Delaware series
Back Cover: Jonathan Kellerman is a master at creating psychologically nuanced novels of suspense -- an author whose name is synonymous with unrelenting action, intriguing plot twists, and penetrating insight into the criminal mind. Now he ventures into bold, new territory with his biggest and best novel yet. "A Cold Heart" features Kellerman's brilliant signature style -- but in this tour-de-force he mines even deeper the emotional landscape of his characters: psychologist-sleuth Alex Delaware, LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis, Milo's colleague Petra Connor, and Alex's ex-lover, Robin Castagna -- bringing them all vividly to life as never before.
