Night Moves: An Alex Delaware Novel

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ò The master of the psychological thriller makes all the right moves in this new novel of spellbinding suspense. Even with all his years of experience, LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis knows there are crimes his skill and savvy cannot solve alone. ThatÆs when he calls on brilliant psychologist Alex Delaware to read between the lines, where the darkest motives lurk. And if ever the good doctorÆs insight is needed, itÆs at the scene of a murder as baffling as it is brutal. ThereÆs no spilled blood, no evidence of a struggle, and, thanks to the victimÆs missing face and hands, no immediate means of identification. And no telling why the disfigured corpse of a stranger has appeared in an upscale L.A. familyÆs home. Chet Corvin, his wife, and their two teenage children are certain the John Doe is unknown to them. Despite that, their cooperation seems guarded. And thatÆs more than Milo and Alex can elicit from the CorvinsÆ creepy next-door neighborùa notorious cartoonist with a warped sense of humor and a seriously antisocial attitude. As the investigation ensues, it becomes clear that this well-to-do suburban enclave has its share of curious eyes, suspicious minds, and loose lips. And as Milo tightens the screws on potential persons of interestùand Alex tries to breach the barriers that guard their deepest secretsùa strangling web of corrupted love, cold-blooded greed, and shattered trust is exposed. Though the grass may be greener on these privileged streets, thereÆs enough dirt below the surface to bury a multitude of sins. Including the deadliest.
