The iconic thriller series that inspired the upcoming streaming show
on Prime Video, in development now! A labyrinth of secrets, revenge,
sex, and manipulation come to life in this graphic novel adaptation of
a “surprising and complex story of evil” (People) by #1 New York
Times bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman. Two separate murders,
strikingly similar in their grisly particulars, bring psychologist
Alex Delaware and LAPD detective Milo Sturgis together once again to
pool their crime-solving skills in the hunt for a homicidal maniac.
But they’re shocked to discover that another deranged murderer may
be their best chance of cracking the case. Ardis Peake has been locked
away in an asylum for the criminally insane for the last sixteen
years, ever since he committed the horrifying massacre as a teenager
that made him infamous—and earned him the nickname “Monster.” A
pariah even among his fellow inmates, Peake is a lost cause to most of
his doctors, and only staff psychologist Claire Argent took a keen
interest in treating the caged killer—until she turned up brutally
slain in the trunk of her car. It is a death made all the more
disturbing by the fact that it was seemingly predicted by Monster.
While Milo searches for a connection between the killing of a
struggling actor and Dr. Argent’s nearly identical murder, Alex
wonders what spurred the reportedly shy psychologist’s intense
fascination with the dangerously insane. But Claire Argent’s
personal life proves as barren as the empty home she left behind, and
neither her ex-husband nor her colleagues can fill in the cryptic
blanks. Only Ardis Peake, whose barely functioning mind lies buried
deep in psychosis, seems somehow inexplicably linked to the world from
which he’s sealed off. And when he foresees another violent double
slaying, Alex and Milo fear that their only hope of finding the
truth—and stopping the bloodshed—may be to follow a strange and
menacing path into the dark heart and twisted psyche of a madman.
