    About this audiobook

    Edgar Award winner Jonathan Kellerman once more explores the corruption of California's golden coast and produces a novel of complex characterizations and nonstop suspense. By the time psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware reached the school the damage was done: A sniper had opened fire on a crowded playground, but was gunned down before any children were hurt. While the TV news crews feasted on the scene an Alex began his therapy sessions with the traumatized children, he couldn't escape the image of a slight teenager clutching an oversized rifle. What was the identity behind the name and face: a would-be assassin, or just another victim beneath an indifferent California sky?

    Intrigued by a request from the sniper's father to conduct a "psychological autopsy" of his child, Alex begins to uncover a strange pattern of innocence, neglect, and loss. Then suddenly it is more than a pattern -- it is a trail of blood. In the dead sniper's past was a dark and vicious plot. And in Alex Delaware's future is the stuff of grown-up nightmares: the face of real human evil.

    • 2/5
      Narrative drags until the rather overly dramatic climax. Neo-Nazi theme. Too light on the psychology. The techno-geek character fun, but do any individuals really have that capacity?
    • 4/5
      A little more far-fetched than usual but still a good Delaware story.
    • 2/5
      This went incredibly slowly for me; I had to force myself to finish it. I'm maybe overdosed on Alex Delaware, since I've read a number of the early books this summer. But this was maybe my least favorite of the series.
    • 3/5
      By this point Delaware wasn't really holding my interest anymore, and not enough time is given over to the most interesting character: Milo.
    • 2/5
      This may well be the most heavy-handed presentation of an author's personal political views in the guise of fiction that I've read in the past twenty years.That said, I agree with Kellerman's views in general, but I read detective fiction for fun not political enlightenment.
    • 4/5
      First impression, this is going to be boring, no wait it IS boring. I’m really not sure what the plot is , I can’t seem to find it and yet I plod on. About two-thirds in there’s the “A-HA” moment. “Dude”, you shout out loud, things are starting to make sense, especially since you’ve eliminated almost everyone and everything. At this point don’t plan on doing anything else until you finish the book. Seriously! Kellerman,as he is prone to do, gets in his Holocaust lesson. No doubt it’s a mandatory field trip, but he’s learning to handle it a bit more deftly. Hang in there though, because when you think you’ve got things figured out there’s one loose end that surprises you, actually maybe it’s two or three.The near ending is impressive , but trust me, that final moment, well you won’t be disappointed!
