The iconic thriller series that inspired the upcoming streaming show
on Prime Video, in development now! BONUS: This edition contains an
excerpt from Jonathan Kellerman's Victims. Psychologist-detective Dr.
Alex Delaware finds terror in the heart of paradise in this
relentlessly sinister novel by America's premier writer of
psychological suspense. Three months in paradise, all expenses paid.
It's an invitation Alex Delaware can't refuse. Dr. Woodrow Wilson
Moreland, a revered scientist and philanthropist on the tiny Pacific
island of Aruk, has invited Alex to his home to help him organize his
papers for publication--a light workload leaving Alex plenty of time
to enjoy a romantic interlude with Robin Castagna. Quickly, however,
secretive houseguests, frightening nocturnal visitors, and the elusive
Dr. Moreland himself dim the pleasures of deep blue water and white
sand. The cases Moreland chooses to share--a patient driven to madness
by a cruel, unspeakable act; a man who succumbed forty years ago to
radiation poisoning after a nuclear blast; a young woman, brutally
murdered, whose mutilated body was found on the beach just six months
before--seem unconnected. And yet Alex can't help wondering what the
good doctor is trying to tell him... and what Moreland's real reason
for inviting him to Aruk is. As Alex probes--with a little
long-distance help from his friend LAPD detective Milo Sturgis--he
comes to believe the answer lies hidden somewhere on Moreland's vast
estate. Yet when he finally discovers the truth, the revelation will
be more shocking than he could have imagined. And it will come too
late to stem the tide of violence that threatens guilty and innocent
alike on the lovely lost island of Aruk. With his brilliant
characterizations and rapid-fire pace, Jonathan Kellerman has
redefined the boundaries of suspense, probing real-life horrors and
innermost fears in a novel that transfixes from first page to last.
