About This Item
Warner, 1987. Paperback. Very Good. A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: One of Kellerman's novels combining detective fiction and psychological sus pense. Dr Alex Delaware, child psychologist, burned out in his mid-30s and in semi-retirement in Southern California, responds to a call for help and becomes enmeshed in a family tragedy. Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly Dr. Alexander Davenport, a child psychologist in Los Angeles, is called in to evaluate the case of a leukemia patient whose parents want to discontinu e chemotherapy. When the boy disappears from the hospital and his parents a re found dead, the only leads are the boy's sensual older sister and a holi stic-meditative cult called The Touch. Davenport's search for the child tak es him to a small town near the Mexican border where he finally unearths th e dark secrets kept by the boy's family and the townspeople. He also uncove rs drugs and group sex in the commune and survives a few harrowing attempts on his life. (Particularly well-drawn is a failed assassination at the tal e's end, which has intriguing mythic echoes.) As in his praised first novel , When the Bough Breaks, Kellerman draws on his experience as a clinical ps ychologist to enrich and broaden his considerable storytelling talents. Imb ued with a vivid sense of place and featuring a strong supporting cast, inc luding Milo Sturgis, Davenport's burly gay detective friend, this second ad venture points happily toward an Alex Davenport series.
