Around the world, stories starring psychologist and detective Alex Delaware are guaranteed a place on bestseller lists. Introduced to the Brazilian public in "The Book of Murder," Delaware returns with another disturbing release from the master of the psychological thriller. In "THERAPY," Jonathan Kellerman crafts a narrative filled with mystery and violence, exploring humankind's most intimate fears. An investigation that will take him into a realm he has absolute mastery over: the human psyche, and all its complexity. During a dinner party, Delaware and his friend, fellow detective Milo Sturgis, are drawn by a siren to a double homicide. Behind police tape, the view is not at all pleasant. A couple was found in a Mustang convertible. The man, with his zipper open. The woman, with her pants down. Each had a bullet wound in the head. A metal spear had been thrust into the woman's chest. The man is identified as Gavin Quick, a young man with a troubled family history, who brought him to a therapist's couch. But little is known about the woman, other than that she wears Armani perfume and Jimmy Choo shoes. Milo and Delaware interrogate Gavin's parents, but therapy offices seem to be the place to find clues to solving the crime. But that means coming face-to-face with Dr. May Lou Koppel, a popular celebrity psychologist who guards the privacy of her clients, dead or alive, until the very end.
