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.
