The anonymous caller has
an ominous tone and an unnerving message about something “real dead . .
. buried in your marsh.” The eco-volunteer on the other end of the
phone thinks it’s a prank, but when a young woman’s body turns up in
L.A.’s Bird Marsh preserve no one’s laughing. And when the bones of more
victims surface, homicide detective Milo Sturgis realizes the city’s
under siege to an insidious killer. Milo’s first move: calling in
psychologist Alex Delaware. The murdered women are
prostitutes–except the most recent victim; a brilliant young musician
from the East Coast, employed by a wealthy family to tutor a musical
prodigy, Selena Bass seems out of place in the marsh’s grim tableau. Conveniently–perhaps
ominously–Selena’s blueblood employers are nowhere to be found, and
their estate’ s jittery caretaker raises hackles. But Milo’s instincts
and Alex’s insight are too well-honed to settle for easy answers, even
given the dark secrets in this troubled man’s past. Their investigation
unearths disturbing layers–about victims, potential victims, and
suspects alike–plunging even deeper into the murky marsh’s enigmatic
depths.Bizarre details of the crimes suggest a devilish serial
killer prowling L.A.’s gritty streets. But when a new murder deviates
from the pattern, derailing a possible profile, Alex and Milo must look
beyond the suspicion of madness and consider an even more sinister mind
at work. Answers don’t come easy, but the darkest of drives and desires
may fuel the most devious of foes.Bones is
classic Kellerman–relentlessly peeling back the skin and psyches of its
characters and revealing the shadows and sins of the souls beneath. With
jolt after jolt of galvanizing suspense, it drives the reader through
its twists and turns toward a climax as satisfying as it is shattering. Views: 24
