In a host of consecutive bestsellers, Jonathan Kellerman has kept readers spellbound with the intense, psychologically acute adventures of Dr. Alex Delaware–and with excursions through the raw underside of L.A. and the coldest alleys of the criminal mind. Rage offers a powerful new case in point, as Delaware and LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis revisit a horrifying crime from the past that has taken on shocking and deadly new dimensions. Troy Turner and Rand Duchay were barely teenagers when they kidnapped and murdered a younger child. Troy, a remorseless sociopath, died violently behind bars. But the hulking, slow-witted Rand managed to survive his stretch. Now, at age twenty-one, he’s emerged a haunted, rootless young man with a pressing need: to talk–once again–with psychologist Alex Delaware. But the young killer comes to a brutal end, that conversation never takes place. Has karma caught up with Rand? Or has someone waited for eight patient years to dine on ice-cold revenge? Both seem strong possibilities to Sturgis, but Delaware’s suspicions run deeper . . . and darker. Because fear in the voice of the grownup Rand Duchay–and his eerie final words to Alex: “I’m not a bad person”–betray untold secrets. Buried revelations so horrendous, and so damning, they’re worth killing for. As Delaware and Sturgis retrace their steps through a grisly murder case that devastated a community, they discover a chilling legacy of madness, suicide, and multiple killings left in its wake–and even uglier truths waiting to be unearthed. And the nearer they come to understanding an unspeakable crime, the more harrowingly close they get to unmasking a monster hiding in plain sight. Rage finds Jonathan Kellerman in phenomenal form–orchestrating a relentlessly suspenseful, devilishly unpredictable plot to a finale as stunning and thought-provoking as it is satisfying.

" I've grown accustomed to Kellerman's writing style for the Dr. Delaware character and though I don't think it's the best thing I've ever heard, it's not all that bad either. This book was one of the more disturbing ones in the Dr. D series I've listened to. And also probably the one with the least satisfying ending. We had a lot of build up, tension, thrills, chills, suspense and such only to have the conclusion thrown at us in a few paragraphs. Kind of anticlimactic, really. Still, of the J Kellerman books I've listened to, this one ranks near the top. "

— David, 12/25/2013" I made the huge mistake of reading this because of a limited amount of books to choose from. It takes alot for me now to read something that has "New York Times Bestseller" flashed across the front of a book. The title doesn't even make sense. "
— Jon, 12/13/2013" I enjoyed the fast pace of this novel, though at times I found the constant speculations a little tedious - I would have preferred a bit more action. The ending was also somewhat anti-climactic. "

— Deb, 8/29/2012" ugh. i usually like his books and am happily sedated in easy to read crime drama after finishing - this one started off promising and ended with a pppfffft. predictable and boring. AND the title had about 0 to do with the storyline. "

— Jess, 6/20/2010" LOOOOOOOVE this author. Strongly recommend anything by him. Jonathan Kellerman is a criminal psychologist turned author so if you're into criminal psychology then it's right up your ally. If your not, your still going to love him because he's a hell of a writer! "
— Charlane, 4/28/2010" Dark and disturbing. I've been trying to catch up with the Delaware series starting from A Cold Heart. This is by far the darkest and most disturbing. On to Gone. "
— Mega, 4/24/2010" Pretty standard Alex Delaware stuff here. Enjoyed it as usual. It had it'a high points with the personal drama of many of the characters, to include Alex. But the story itself was largely predictable. All in all worth the read and the $5 I dropped on it. "
