Now comes \u003ci\u003eMotive, \u003c\/i\u003e which pits psychologist Alex Delaware and homicide cop Milo Sturgis against a vicious criminal mind--the kind only Kellerman can bring to chilling life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Even having hundreds of closed cases to his credit can't keep LAPD police lieutenant Milo Sturgis from agonizing over the crimes that don't get solved--and the victims who go without justice. Victims like Katherine Hennepin, a young woman strangled and stabbed in her home. A single suspect with a solid alibi leads to a dead end--one even Alex Delaware's expert insight can't explain. The only thing to do is move on to the next murder case--because there's always a next one. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This time the victim is Ursula Corey: a successful, attractive divorcée who's been gunned down--not a robbery but an execution, a crime that smacks of simple, savage revenge. And along with that theoretical motive come two strong contenders for the role of perp: the dead woman's business partner\/ex-husband and her divorce lawyer\/secret lover. But just as Alex and Milo think they're zeroing in on the most likely suspect, a bizarre new clue stirs up eerie echoes of the unsolved Hennepin murder. And the discovery of yet another crime scene bearing the same taunting signature raises the specter of a serial killer on a mission, whose twisted method is exceeded only by his manipulative and cunning madness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eMotive\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Jonathan Kellerman has mastered the art of lean, evocative prose [in] a series that grows stronger with each volume.\"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e--New York Journal of Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"One of [Kellerman's] best works to date . . . \u003ci\u003eMotive\u003c\/i\u003e is wonderfully made, equally well-driven by plot and character, and shouldn't be missed.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eBookreporter\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"[\u003ci\u003eMotive\u003c\/i\u003e] will even keep genre veterans guessing. . . .
