When Dr. Eldon Mate, a passionate advocate of physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia, is found dead, murdered by one of his own death machines, LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis and his friend Dr. Alex Delaware are on the case. - Baker & Taylor
When Dr. Eldon Mate, a passionate advocate of physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia, is found dead, murdered by one of his own death machines, LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis and his friend Dr. Alex Delaware are on the case. By the author ofMonster and Billy Straight . 400,000 first printing. - Blackwell North Amer
Who killed the killer? In his brilliant and startling new novel, Jonathan Kellerman, perennial bestselling author and premier proprietor of the psychological thriller, gives a sharp and timely twist to homicide's central question.
Someone has murdered euthanasia champion Dr. Eldon Mate - a self-styled Dr. Death responsible for scores of assisted suicides. In a burst of bloody irony, the killer chooses to dispatch the doctor in the back of Mate's own suicide van, hooking him up to the killing apparatus dubbed "the Humanitron" - and adding some butchering touches of his own. The case is assigned to veteran LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis, who turns, once again, to his friend Dr. Alex Delaware. But working this case causes a conflict of interest for Alex so profound that he can't even discuss it with Milo. The tension that develops between cop and psychologist further complicates an already baffling and complex murder investigation - one whose suspects include the families of Dr. Mate's "travelers," Mate's own son, and a psychopathic killer who relishes the geometry of death. - Random House, Inc.
