Survival of the Fittest (Alex Delaware series, Book 12)

Alex Delaware, The Crime Reader, returns in Survival of the Fittest - a compulsive novel from Jonathan Kellerman, the master of psychological suspense.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Weaving together the threads of a mystery that lead from a child's murder to a young scientist's suicide, Kellerman draws one of the most chilling, frighteningly realistic portraits of evil you will ever experience.

The mentally disabled daughter of a diplomat is killed in cold blood in a deserted corner of the Santa Monica mountains. Her father adamantly denies the possibility of a political motive, which leaves LAPD detective Milo Sturgis and his friend Alex Delaware to pose the question: why? The father is so intent on controlling the investigation that Alex and Milo start to wonder if he wants to find the truth - or keep it buried.

After another killing, within days Alex finds himself ensnared in one of the darkest, most menacing cases of his career. Driven to find answers, Alex goes undercover, alone, to expose the smug brutality of a murderous conspiracy and a terrifying contempt for human life.

Survival of the Fittest delivers a gripping narrative filled with suspense and intrigue, challenging Alex Delaware to confront the depths of human depravity and the lengths to which some will go to conceal the truth.
