Psychologist Alex Delaware is stunned when Rand Duchay, one of his patients, whom he has been treating since his release from prison for the killing of a young boy as a teenager, asks for a meeting to confide a dangerous secret to him, only to turn up dead before their arranged rendezvous, a murder that could hold the key to horrifying secrets from the past. 300,000 first printing.
Psychologist Alex Delaware is stunned when Rand Duchay, a patient whom he has been treating since his release from prison, asks for a meeting to confide a dangerous secret to him, only to turn up dead before their arranged rendezvous.
Troy Turner and Rand Duchay were barely teenagers when they kidnapped and murdered a younger child. Troy, a remorseless sociopath, died violently behind bars. But the hulking, slow-witted Rand managed to survive his stretch. Now, at age twenty-one, he's emerged a haunted, rootless young man with a pressing need: to talk - once again - with psychologist Alex Delaware. But when the young killer comes to a brutal end, that conversation is silenced forever.
Did karma catch up with Rand? Or did someone wait eight long years to dine on ice-cold revenge? Both seem strong possibilities to LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis, but Delaware's suspicions run deeper ... and darker. Because fear in the voice of the grown-up Rand Duchay - and his eerie final words to Delaware: "I'm not a bad person" - betray untold secrets. Buried revelations so horrendous, and so damning, they're worth killing for.
As Delaware and Sturgis retrace their steps through a grisly murder case that devastated a community, they discover a chilling legacy of madness, suicide, and multiple killings - and even uglier truths waiting to be unearthed. And the nearer they come to understanding an unspeakable crime, the more harrowingly close they get to unmasking a monster hiding in plain sight.
In a host of consecutive bestsellers, Jonathan Kellerman has kept readers spellbound with the intense, psychologically acute adventures of Dr. Alex Delaware–and with excursions through the raw underside of L.A. and the coldest alleys of the criminal mind. Rage offers a powerful new case in point, as Delaware and LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis revisit a horrifying crime from the past that has taken on shocking and deadly new dimensions.
