Motive: An Alex Delaware Novel

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER â€¢ Donâ€™t miss the excerpt of Jonathan Kellermanâ€™s The Murdererâ€™s DaughterÂ 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 mindâ€”the kind only Kellerman can bring to chilling life.
Â
Even having hundreds of closed cases to his credit canâ€™t keep LAPD police lieutenant Milo Sturgis from agonizing over the crimes that donâ€™t get solvedâ€”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 endâ€”one even Alex Delawareâ€™s expert insight canâ€™t explain. The only thing to do is move on to the next murder caseâ€”because thereâ€™s always a next one.
Â
This time the victim is Ursula Corey: a successful, attractive divorcÃ©e whoâ€™s been gunned downâ€”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 womanâ€™s business partner/ex-husband and her divorce lawyer/secret lover. But just as Alex and Milo think theyâ€™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.
