Maggiori informazioni sul libro
With millions of books in print and translations in two dozen languages, Jonathan Kellerman is celebrated as the “master of the psychological thriller” (People). In his latest novel, he crafts a poignant and chilling narrative set in a world ruled by impulse. Tanya Bigelow, once a solemn girl treated for obsessive-compulsive symptoms by Dr. Alex Delaware, now at nineteen, grapples with deeper issues. Her adoptive mother, Patty Bigelow, has made a shocking deathbed confession of murder, urging Tanya to seek Delaware's help. Recalling Patty as a devoted E.R. nurse, Delaware is perplexed by her admission of a "terrible thing." To ease Tanya's mind, he agrees to investigate, enlisting LAPD detective Milo Sturgis. They embark on a quest for the elusive victim of a crime that may not have happened, navigating from L.A.’s seedy districts to lavish mansions. Their journey retraces the puzzling lives of Patty and Tanya, leading them to a troubled heroin addict, a lecherous real-estate broker, and a brilliant physics student. As they delve deeper, a real murder emerges, unveiling a dark tunnel into the past filled with buried secrets and bodies. The mounting tension reveals a complex history of desperation, vengeance, and death—a legacy of evil that refuses to fade.
