Alex Delaware is the kind of guy that you'd like to have as a friend.

Gotta love Kellerman's smart, well-paced and intriguing mysteries!
This is a fantastic read as is most of Jonathan Kellerman books.
Jonathan Kellerman is one of the best in the psychological drama genre. His protagonist, Alex Delware, not only gets his "man" but also educates the reader.
