Publisher Description
Some secrets are worth killing for.
In an upscale Bel Air property, two lovers are found dead in a swimming pool. The man is the playboy heir to a business empire, and the woman is his even wealthier married neighbour.
An illicit affair is the perfect motive. But the house is untouched - no forced entry, no forensic evidence - and so LAPD homicide lieutenant Milo Sturgis and asks psychologist Alex Delaware to help unpick the case.
It quickly becomes clear that both victims had troubled pasts. Now Alex and Milo must confront LA's darkest side as they unravel a trail of deadly secrets . . .

Customer Reviews
Alex and Milo ride again!
I love these stories featuring Alex Delaware and Milo Sturgis, talk about the proverbial odd couple. A homicide detective and a child psychologist solving murders. In this story, a double homicide proves very confusing, why were these two victims targeted? Who was the actual target and who was collateral damage? The female victim is also a mystery lady, with no background to speak of, the male is an Italian Lothario, who was having an affair with her. The murders were identical but the big question, is why?
No page turner
Found myself wishing something horrible would happen to wake me up. Plodding plot which felt contrived. I’m feeling disinclined to pay good money to be bored by Alex and Milo again.
