Description
Bones by Jonathan Kellerman is the 23rd novel in the Alex Delaware crime thriller series. When an anonymous caller warns an eco-volunteer that something dead is buried in Los Angeles’s Bird Marsh nature reserve, the message is dismissed as a prank. But the discovery of a young woman’s body, followed by the remains of other victims, reveals the work of a possible serial killer. Homicide detective Milo Sturgis calls on psychologist Alex Delaware to help unravel the disturbing case.
The victims are mostly prostitutes, but the latest discovery is different: Selena Bass, a talented young musician from the East Coast who was employed to tutor a wealthy family’s gifted daughter. Her employers have mysteriously disappeared, while their nervous caretaker raises further suspicions. As Alex and Milo investigate the connections between the victims and suspects, a new murder disrupts the emerging pattern and points towards an even more calculating killer. A gripping psychological thriller that explores the darker motives and secrets hidden beneath seemingly respectable lives.
