Open Season: An Alex Delaware Novel

Los Angeles is a city of stars, a city of strivers and wannabes. Not everyone can shine bright, but they'll burn themselves up for a glimpse of the high life. LAPD homicide lieutenant Milo Sturgis knows it all too well: The best dreamers often make the worst monsters.

The body of an aspiring actress has been found--and she'd been drugged. The main suspect is a stunt double with the ego of an action star. Before Milo and Alex can get to him for questioning, his body turns up dead. Worse yet, the rifle that killed him was used in a prior case . . . and another case before that. It's not long before more bodies start piling up.

At first, they believe the victims are unlucky souls shot randomly by a cold-blooded killer, which makes it a difficult case to crack. But as Milo and Delaware dig deeper into their backgrounds, they're confronted with the possibility that this is the work of highly complex individual with a deep-seated motivation that will take all of their highly honed skills to determine.

In the latest, brilliant thriller from #1 New York Times bestseller Jonathan Kellerman, Alex and Milo soon find themselves in the thick of a truly complex and twisted case--one with no shortage of suspects or victims that takes them on a wild ride through the surreal underbelly of Los Angeles.
