GUILT: AN ALEX DELAWARE NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 01240013B60227
English Summary/英文概要： The #1 New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman’s “psychology skills and dark imagination are a potent literary mix” (Los Angeles Times), and this intensely thrilling blend has never been so powerful as in the acclaimed author’s new novel of murder and madness among the beautiful dreamers, seductive predators, and doomed innocents adrift in the glare of Southern California’s eternal sunshine.
A series of horrifying events occur in quick succession in the same upscale L.A. neighborhood. A backyard renovation unearths an infant’s body, buried sixty years ago. And soon thereafter in a nearby park, another disturbingly bizarre discovery is made not far from the body of a young woman shot in the head. Helping LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis to link these eerie incidents is brilliant psychologist Alex Delaware. But even the good doctor’s vast experience with matters both clinical and criminal might not be enough to cut down to the bone of this chilling case—and draw out the disturbing truth.
Backtracking six decades into the past stirs up tales of a beautiful nurse with a mystery lover, a handsome, wealthy doctor who seems too good to be true, and a hospital with a notorious reputation—all of them long gone, along with any records of a newborn, and destined for anonymity. But the specter of fame rears its head when the case unexpectedly twists in the direction of the highest echelons of celebrity privilege. Entering this sheltered world, Alex little imagines the macabre layer just below the surface—a decadent quagmire of unholy rituals and grisly sacrifice.
Before their work is done, Alex and Milo, “the most original whodunit duo since Watson and Holmes” (Forbes), must confront a fanatically deranged mind of such monstrous cunning that even the most depraved madman would shudder.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 纽约时报畅销书作家乔纳森•凯勒曼的“心理学技巧和阴暗的想象力是一个强有力的文学组合”（洛杉矶时报），在知名作家关于谋杀和精神错乱的新小说里，在那些人物中如美丽的梦想家，诱人的大鳄，注定永远漂泊在南加州耀眼阳光下的无辜者，这种紧张惊险的混合从来没有这么强大过。
一系列骇人听闻的事件快速连续的在洛杉矶的同一个高档小区发生。在后院挖掘出了六十年前埋的婴儿尸体。此后不久，在附近的一个公园里一名年轻女子头部中弹，在尸体不远处又有一个令人不安的离奇发现。优秀的心理学家亚力士•达拉威协助洛杉矶警察局凶杀案侦探麦洛•斯特吉斯，把这些阴森恐怖的事件联系起来。但是，即使是在临床和刑事方面有丰富经验的医生，也不可能在如此胆寒的情况下削骨——找出令人不安的真相。
回溯到过去的六十年，有一个故事被唤出：一个美丽的护士有一个神秘的情人，他英俊、富有，优秀得不像是真实的人，还有一所臭名昭著的医院——但是他们都消失了，一起不见的还有一个新生儿的任何记录，他注定是要匿名的。当情况出人意料的转向最高层的名人特权时，传说中的幽灵抬起了他的头。在这个被庇佑的世界里，亚力士很难想象在表层下隐藏的恐怖——邪恶仪式下的泥泞和可怕的牺牲。
亚力士和麦洛“这两个以华生和福尔摩斯为原型创作的人物”在工作结束前，必须面对这个无比狡猾，即使是最疯狂的疯子也会不寒而栗的人。(LNL)
