Description
In the first Alex Delaware novel, Dr.  Morton Handler practiced a strange brand of psychiatry.  Among his specialties were fraud, extortion, and  sexual manipulation. Handler paid for his sins when  he was brutally murdered in his luxurious Pacific  Palisades apartment. The police have no leads, but  they do have one possible witness: seven-year-old  Melody Quinn.
It's psychologist Dr. Alex  Delaware's job to try to unlock the terrible secret  buried in Melody's memory. But as the sinister  shadows in the girl's mind begin to take shape, Alex  discovers that the mystery touches a shocking  incident in his own past.
This connection is  only the beginning, a single link in a  forty-year-old conspiracy. And behind it lies an unspeakable  evil that Alex Delaware must expose before it  claims another innocent victim: Melody Quinn.

      • content:

        May 1, 1986
        At 33, burnt-out child psychologist Alex Davenport is persuaded to look into the murder of a psychiatrist that may have been witnessed by a little girl who won't talk about it. The murder trail leads to evidence of a group of child molesters. PW stated that Kellerman, a child psychologist himself, writes "with authority and humor, sensitivity and more than considerable skill.''

      • premium: True
      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: The first Alex Delaware novel describes the child psychologist's efforts to solve an increasingly complicated murder when the only witness is a 7-year-old girl. Alexander Adams presents the first-person narration of Delaware's educated, personable, and lively speeches most effectively. In some of the lengthy conversational scenes, however, Adams favors a pause-laden approach that impedes suspense and slackens pace. (The most sluggish are the mid-book scenes at a liberal arts college.) Both Kellerman and Adams have enough fans, of course, for them to overlook this one drawback. On the whole, the enjoyable, if slowish, reading succeeds at capturing Kellerman's distinctive strengths of storytelling and style. G.H. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine
