Livro Motive

"NEW YORK TIMES "BESTSELLER Don t miss the excerpt of Jonathan Kellerman s "The Murderer s Daughter"in the back of the book! Jonathan Kellerman writes razor-sharp novels that cut to the quick.

Now comes "Motive, " which pits psychologist Alex Delaware and homicide cop Milo Sturgis against a vicious criminal mind the kind only Kellerman can bring to chilling life. 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. This time the victim is Ursula Corey: a successful, attractive divorcee 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.
