A Measure of Darkness by Jonathan Kellerman

From the bestselling father-son team who write brilliant, page-turning fiction (Stephen King) comes the second installment in crime fiction's most intriguing new series.

It's been a busy year for Alameda County Coroner's Deputy Clay Edison. He's solved a decades-old crime and redeemed an innocent man--earning himself a suspension in the process. Things are getting serious with his girlfriend. And his brother's fresh out of prison, bringing with him a great big basket of crazy.

Then the call comes in the middle of the night. It's a bad one. A party in West Oakland. An argument with the neighbors. A crowd in the street. Two guns, firing at random, spreading chaos and death. Nobody knows the body count yet. What Clay does know is this: it's going to be a long, long night. Longer than he ever could have imagined.

Because when the dust settles, there's an extra victim. One who can't be accounted for. A young woman, strangled instead of shot, without ID and a stranger to all. She is Jane Doe. She is the Unknown. Clay's journey to give her a name and bring her justice will lead him into the bizarre--a seductive world where innocence and perversity meet and mingle; where right and wrong begin to blur.

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.
