Over 20 years ago, I never missed the opportunity to read the newest Alex Delaware. Then, for some reason I just kinda quit. So after a long hiatus, I'm back and glad I am. I have missed Kellerman's writing and the likes of Alex and Milo.
In Rage, Delaware receives a phone call from a troubled young man who 8 years previously with another kid, kidnapped and killed a toddler. Having just been released the young man, Rand, wants to meet and talk with Delaware who consulted on the earlier murder case. Delaware agrees only to be stood up. Later he finds out from Milo that the young man was killed that night.
Flashbacks to the earlier time as well as the new investigation moving forward dominate the story line.
Once Milo and Alex start digging, things just start to not add up and there are more questions than answers that stretch back to the original murder. Through sheer perseverance and much hypothesizing, the duo begin to make sense of the convoluted timeline and come to realize that there well may be a serial killer on the loose. Thrown into the mix is Alex's relationship with another Psychiatrist as well as the possible reemergence of Robyn, and things are getting interesting.
Looking forward to reestablishing my relationship with these two.

Pre-review thoughts
Again Jonathan Kellerman gives us a brutal, winner of a thriller. It opens with a classic line where Alex, while watching a baseball game, gets a call from a murderer who has been released. Juveniles when they committed the crime of killing a 2 year old child, the mystery starts after the fact when the boy (now a man) is found dead. The story keeps adding on more horrors, and more victims, in a truly sick psychopathic villain who stands out unique in the many ways he's really sick (and it's more than straightforward murder, blech). A different ending with this type where the two aren't always in the pursuit of law if justice has been served already. It's a good mystery with many layers; the villain is known for awhile, but more investigating and leads are covered for awhile before the ending.
