Now comes \u003ci\u003eMotive, \u003c\/i\u003e which pits psychologist Alex Delaware and homicide cop Milo Sturgis against a vicious criminal mind--the kind only Kellerman can bring to chilling life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEven having hundreds of closed cases to his credit can't keep LAPD police lieutenant Milo Sturgis from agonizing over the crimes that don't get solved--and the victims who go without justice. Victims like Katherine Hennepin, a young woman strangled and stabbed in her home. A single suspect with a solid alibi leads to a dead end--one even Alex Delaware's expert insight can't explain. The only thing to do is move on to the next murder case--because there's always a next one. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis time the victim is Ursula Corey: a successful, attractive divorcée who's been gunned down--not a robbery but an execution, a crime that smacks of simple, savage revenge. And along with that theoretical motive come two strong contenders for the role of perp: the dead woman's business partner\/ex-husband and her divorce lawyer\/secret lover. But just as Alex and Milo think they're zeroing in on the most likely suspect, a bizarre new clue stirs up eerie echoes of the unsolved Hennepin murder. And the discovery of yet another crime scene bearing the same taunting signature raises the specter of a serial killer on a mission, whose twisted method is exceeded only by his manipulative and cunning madness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDon't miss the excerpt of Jonathan Kellerman's \u003ci\u003eThe Murderer's Daughter \u003c\/i\u003ein the back of the book!\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Ballantine Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51942284558567,"sku":"9780345541390","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/imageloader_ac94b69f-6668-4595-859e-80c7bc351b16.jpg?v=1775249708","url":"https:\/\/arvidabookco.com\/products\/motive","provider":"Arvida Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
