Bad Love (Alex Delaware series, Book 8): A taut, terrifying psychological thriller

Description

It starts with a tape delivered to psychologist Alex Delaware's house - a recording of a soul-sickening scream followed by a twisted, childlike voice chanting 'Bad love. Bad love. Don't give me the bad love...' Alex heard that phrase a decade ago, at a symposium for Dr Andres de Bosch and his work with troubled teens, why is he hearing it now? Then there are strange phone calls, a horrific act of vandalism and the discovery that other symposium delegates have been murdered. Unless Alex can make sense of the mind games being played he will be next...

After a distinguished career in child psychology, Jonathan Kellerman turned to writing full-time, and there are now over thirty million copies of his novels in print. He is also the author of two volumes of psychology. He lives in Southern California with his wife, the novelist Faye Kellerman, and their four children.

'Convincing psychiatrics; stylish, solidly characterised and salted as usual, with Kellerman's distaste for the LA landscape' -- LITERARY REVIEW 'His portrait of lotus land under siege, with its underclass of sickos, addicts and no-hopers is precise and convincing' -- OBSERVER 'A terrific read and one that will keep you page-turning into the small hours' -- IRISH TIMES
