Flesh and Blood (2001) by Jonathan Kellerman is the fifteenth installment in the enduring Alex Delaware series, presenting one of the psychologist-sleuth’s most personal cases to date. Published by Random House, this novel finds Delaware investigating the murder of a troubled young woman who had sought his professional help years earlier—a premise that forces him to confront questions of responsibility and therapeutic ethics.

Kellerman’s meticulous procedural details shine as Delaware and LAPD detective Milo Sturgis trace connections between Beverly Hills privilege and the sex trade, with the author’s background in child psychology lending authenticity to the psychological profiling. The novel’s Los Angeles setting is rendered with particular vividness, from the sterile corridors of exclusive medical clinics to the sun-bleached desperation of Venice Beach.
