Jonathan Kellerman uses his considerable storytelling skills to create another adventure
featuring psychologist Alex Delaware and veteran homicide cop Milo Sturgis. The pair are dealing
with a double killing of what appears to be two young lovers found in a compromising position in
a partially completed mansion in one of the L.A.'s best neighborhoods.
Although the male victim is identified as architect Desmond Backer, the name of his dead lady
friend remains a mystery. As they launch their investigation, Sturgis and Delaware are a bit
surprised to find Baker's ex-boss totally unmoved by his demise. The woman may head the list of
initial suspects but, as the days pass, more and more names are added. There's an elusive prince
with decidedly American "appetites," an eccentric blueblood with an ax to grind, plus one of the
dead man's ex-lovers and her cuckolded husband. It's a potentially deadly group of individuals who
all have a good reason to "off" the architect.
The case becomes even more intriguing and dangerous when the investigation suddenly takes a
startling turn that may place Delaware and his friend at risk.
Whether he is sharing the narrative chores with his wife in the series they write together or
working solo, Jonathan Kellerman creates unforgettable stories. The relentless action and
psychological detail he weaves into this fiction keep his reader glued to the page from start to
finish. His Edgar and Anthony awards attest to the fact that no one does it better than Kellerman
when it comes to psychological suspense. That being said, Evidence is a mystery you'll
definitely want to read.
