Book Description:
A brutalized corpse discovered in a remote region of the Hollywood Hills plunges psychologist detective Alex Delaware into a landscape of rage and madness as he struggles to solve this most baffling of homicides. To some, Eldon Mate was evil personified. Others saw the former physician as a saint. But one thing was clear: Dr. Death had snuffed out the lives of dozens of human beings and now someone had turned him into a victim. When Mate is found mutilated in a rented van, harnessed to his own killing machine, Delaware is asked to aid his old friend, homicide cop Milo Sturgis, in the hunt for the death doctor?s executioner. But Alex harbors secrets of his own that threaten to derail the partners? friendship as well as the increasingly complex investigation. With page-turning suspense and vivid portraits of L.A.?s darkest side, perennial bestseller Jonathan Kellerman?s latest tale of psychopathology taken to the extreme delivers an unforgettable journey into the most sinister corners of the human mind.

Alex Delaware delves into the world of assisted suicide when a doctor they call "Doctor Death" is himself murdered. Lots of twists and turns and a deep look at a dysfunctional family.

The exact details of this particular book, 14th in the Dr. Delaware series, are a bit sketchy for me now, a year or so after reading it. I can definitely say that it was a good read, classic Jonathan Kellerman and Dr. Delaware fans will enjoy it!

This was my first Alex Delaware book. At first I was not expecting much, but it made me want to go back and read the others.
