Dr. Death by Jonathan Kellerman
The iconic thriller series that inspired the upcoming streaming show on Prime Video, in development now!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 raises 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.
Jonathan Kellerman is one of the most well-known authors in the world. In addition to the Alex Delaware series, The Butcher's Theater, Billy Straight, The Conspiracy Club, Twisted, and True Detectives, he has contributed his clinical psychology knowledge to more than thirty bestselling mystery books. He co-wrote the novels Double Homicide and Capital Crimes with his wife, novelist Faye Kellerman. Savage Spawn: Thoughts on Aggressive Children, as well as the lavishly illustrated With Strings Attached: The Art and Beauty of Antique Guitars, are among his many essays, short tales, scientific papers, two children's books, and three volumes of psychology. He has been nominated for a Shamus Award and has won the Goldwyn, Edgar, and Anthony awards.
Jonathan Kellerman and his wife Faye Kellerman split their time between California and New Mexico. Jesse Kellerman, a author, is one of their four children.
