“Kellerman constructs his plot as adeptly as Robin Castagna, Alex’s live-in lover, builds her prized guitars . . .” — Publishers Weekly

Kellerman’s psychologist-detective Alex Delaware returns in an extraordinary new novel of electrifying emotional intensity. . . . It came in a plain brown wrapper, no return address — an audiocassette of a horrifying scream, followed by the sound of a childlike voice delivering the haunting message “Bad love. Bad love. Don’t give me the bad love.” For Alex, the chant is the first intimation that he has become the target of a carefully orchestrated campaign of vague threats and intimidation rapidly building to a crescendo as harassment turns to terror, mischief to madness.
