About this ebook

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
 
Professor Hope Devane’s male-bashing pop-psych bestseller created a storm of controversy on the talk-show circuit. Now she is dead, brutally slashed on a quiet street in one of L.A.’s safest neighborhoods. The LAPD’s investigation has gone cold, and homicide detective Milo Sturgis turns to his friend Dr. Alex Delaware for a psychological profile of the victim—and a portrait of a killer.
 
“Engrossing . . . mines new realms of psychological terror . . . holds the reader riveted.”—Playboy
 
Hope Devane had very different public and private faces. The killer could be any one of the millions who read her book, or someone from the personal life she kept so carefully separate. As Alex and Milo dig deeper into her shadowy past, they will set an elaborate trap for her killer . . . and reveal the unspeakable act that triggered a dark chain of violence.

BONUS: This edition contains and excerpt from Jonathan Kellerman's Guilt.

Ratings and reviews

Tiresome, utterly predictable gynogarbage, with holy, sainted, ever-victim wahwahwahwahmyns 😭 front and center, even down to the demented notion that they're never wrong, even when they commit what would be considered a crime for a man. You know, like false accusations of assault and rape and such ... just those sorts of little, minor things. You have to wonder about a man that writes such self-loathing drivel, don't you?

Wonderful, as always!

Excellent
