It is fun to see the relationships developing, since I know some of what is to come. The theme of child molestation is disturbing, but not graphic. Equally disturbing is the portrayal of the wealthy men, and how they can buy off or blackmail anyone to pursue their hobbies. There are several characters introduced, and by the end you can see how they are all connected. This was a good read, especially when you consider it was Jonathan Kellerman's first fiction book.

HTML:In the first Alex Delaware novel, Dr. Morton Handler practiced a strange brand of psychiatry. Among his specialties were fraud, extortion, and sexual manipulation. Handler paid for his sins when he was brutally murdered in his luxurious Pacific Palisades apartment. The police have no leads, but they do have one possible witness: seven-year-old Melody Quinn. It's psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware's job to try to unlock the terrible secret buried in Melody's memory. But as the sinister shadows in the girl's mind begin to take shape, Alex discovers that the mystery touches a shocking incident in his own past. This connection is only the beginning, a single link in a forty-year-old conspiracy. And behind it lies an unspeakable evil that Alex Delaware must expose before it claims another innocent victim: Melody Quinn. No library descriptions found. |
