(Reviewer - D. H. BROWN)
2003 Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0345452550

Milos Sturgis has “a weird” case & summons Alex Delaware, physologist & sleuth to help solve it.

The Hollywood cops are investigating the vicious death of Baby Boy Lee, a noted blues guitarist who never seems to have made any enemies or money. Who stabbed him in the alley after a late-night set at a local club? The clues lead Alex to suspect they are facing a new breed of celebrity stalker.

From halfway houses to palatial mansions, from a college campus to a doorstep too close to home, Alex & Milos, Petra & her new partner follow the leads only to uncover more killings in a world where art & death have become one.

Sr. Staff Reviewer D. H. BROWN writes:

Jonathan Kellerman has a certain genius when building the psychological thriller. The suspense he creates is like a palpable hand squeezing the heart from page to page.

When I saw A Cold Heart on the shelf of our local library I was automatically drawn to reading the flyleaf. & being an old blues lover was compelled to check it out. As usual, I was not disappointed.

In this next chapter of the life of psychologist sleuth Alex Delaware, Jonathan Kellerman takes us deeper into the lives of his friends -- LAPD homicide detective Milos Sturgis & his colleague, Petra Connor & Alex's ex, Robin Castagna.

Delving into the abnormal psychology of killers is what Jonathan Kellerman does without equal. In this book the day-to-day insights into the “footwork” of police work is compelling. As a former detective in another life, I found it to be exact & factual -- connecting the dots is what 99% of all detective work is.

I found A Cold Heart to be one of Jonathan Kellerman's best work to date.
