Publisher's Synopsis
A series of horrifying events occurs in quick succession in the same upscale L.A. neighbourhood. A backyard renovation unearths an infant's body, buried sixty years ago. Soon after, in a nearby park, another disturbingly bizarre discovery is made near the body of a young woman shot in the head. Helping LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis to link these eerie incidents is brilliant psychologist Alex Delaware. But even the doctor's vast experience with matters both clinical and criminal might not be enough to cut down to the bone of this chilling case - and draw out the disturbing truth. Before their work is done, Alex and Milo must confront a fanatically deranged mind of such monstrous cunning that even the most depraved madman would shudder...
