Alex Delaware is...
The Crime Reader
No one can read a crime scene, interpret signs,
or decode a suspect's behaviour better than he can.
In a city that trades in dreams, criminal psychologist
Alex Delaware has a gift for searching beneath the surface.
Possessing razor-sharp perception, Alex has an
extraordinary ability to get inside people's heads and see
the things that others miss. He reads between the lines
like no one else; his unique insight exposes the real LA —
the gritty, disturbing underbelly beneath the glittering façade.

Alex's most recent caseWhen Alex Delaware is shown photographs of a young woman, brutally murdered, by police detective Milo Sturgis, The Crime Reader is sickened but not surprised. What is shocking is the realisation that Alex has seen the victim before. He had noticed the lonely, striking young woman at the Faubourg Hotel in Beverly Hills two days earlier; at the time he couldn't help wondering what her story was. Now, with a mutilated body and no DNA match, she remains as mysterious in death as she seemed in life, until a lead forces the case wide open. The dark secrets that spill out could make Alex and Milo's best efforts to close this horrific crime not just impossible but fatal. Has The Crime Reader met his most baffling case? |
