A bit far-fetched in it's plot, but it's good to see the Sharavi character back again.

The murder of a Jewish child in a park in California brings together Alex Cross and Milo Sturgis.
Jonathan Kellerman is one of the best in the psychological drama genre. His protagonist, Alex Delware, not only gets his "man" but also educates the reader.
This one that really have to read.
The first Alex Delaware story I read, and it got me hooked on the rest!
Gripping, emotionally charged, classic Kellerman.
Kept me guessing till the end.

A 1997 and the thirteenth of many Alex Delaware mysteries by Kellerman. I read this book a couple years ago, during my Jonathan Kellerman phase, I forgot most of it.

I had never read Kellerman before, but now I'm hooked. I'll need to find the other Alex Delaware books. This is a highly enjoyable read; full of action and plot twists that keep you guessing.

This one is sooooooo GOOD! First off, several characters from other book series pop up in this one. We meet an Israeli detective named Daniel Sharavi who first appeared in J Kellerman's non-Delaware novel The Butcher's Theater; we meet Hollywood detective Petra Connor who would go on to have her own series (well, two books of her own so far: Billy Straight and Twisted), and there is even a mention of detective Peter Decker who was created by JK's wife, Faye Kellerman. I love a good crossover, so this was fun. This is the first Delaware novel I've read that switches POV. Most of it is still told in the first person by Alex, but there are some chapters told in the third person from other character's POV. Plus, we get an actual description of Alex, who never describes himself.
It starts with a young policeman killing himself in public. This
policeman's sister is a nurse at Cedars-Sinai, where Rick (Milo's lover) works and Rick asks Alex to talk with her because she is really shook up by it all. But then, Milo asks for some help with a cold case he's been assigned - a case with international overtones. The daughter of an Israeli diplomat was murdered and the original investigators got nowhere. This is where Daniel Sharavi comes in.
The investigation leads to some shocking revelations and Alex agrees to go undercover to investigate. This almost gets him killed. MAN, does he come close to kicking the bucket in this one! Both Daniel and Milo are more-or-less abducted by their respective superiors, which keeps them from backing up Alex and there is a BRILLIANT scene where Milo fakes a heart attack to get away. I mean it - who knew Milo was such a good actor? And we've never seen Milo so frightened and upset and flat out angry because, of course, he blames himself for endangering Alex in the first place, even though it was Alex who talked him into it.
