{"product_id":"motive","title":"Motive","description":"\"NEW YORK TIMES \"BESTSELLER \u003cbr\u003eJonathan Kellerman writes razor-sharp novels that cut to the quick. Now comes \"Motive, \" which pits psychologist Alex Delaware and homicide cop Milo Sturgis against a vicious criminal mind the kind only Kellerman can bring to chilling life. \u003cbr\u003e Even 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. \u003cbr\u003e This time the victim is Ursula Corey: a successful, attractive divorcee 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. \u003cbr\u003ePraise for \"Motive\"\u003cbr\u003e \"\"\u003cbr\u003e Jonathan Kellerman has mastered the art of lean, evocative prose [in] a series that grows stronger with each volume. \" New York Journal of Books\" \u003cbr\u003e One of [Kellerman s] best works to date . . . \"Motive\" is wonderfully made, equally well-driven by plot and character, and shouldn t be missed. \"Bookreporter\" \u003cbr\u003e [\"Motive\"] will even keep genre veterans guessing. . . .
