When his brief, passionate romance with nurse Jocelyn Banks is cut short by her kidnapping and brutal murder, young psychologist Dr. Jeremy Carrier is left emotionally devastated, haunted by his lover’s grisly demise and warily eyed by police still seeking a prime suspect in the unsolved slaying. To escape the pain, he buries himself in his work at City Central Hospital—only to be drawn deeper into a waking nightmare when more women turn up murdered in the same gruesome fashion as Jocelyn . . . and the suspicion surrounding Jeremy intensifies. Now, the only way to prove his innocence and put his torment to rest is to follow the deadly trail of a modern-day Jack the Ripper.

"A slight departure from the Alex Delaware novels, Kellerman doesn't leave the profession with his main character, just the LA area. I found this character new and very interesting. He wasn't perfect, he just seemed determined, which made me want to keep reading. "
— Justin (4 out of 5 stars)
" Quick, easy and ok. Some good descriptions of food but the plot wanders a bit. "
— Betty, 2/19/2014" Good summer reading, very easy read, will keep you entertained... "
— Dhali, 2/16/2014" I thought the main character figured out who the killer was way to early. It wasn't a very complex mystery. It didn't keep you on your toes very long. "
— Brandy, 2/12/2014" Really slow start but about half way through I couldn't put it down. "
— Khristine, 2/8/2014" It pained me to give it only 3 stars but what was this? Where was the characters I love? Was this supposed to be a stand alone? I still love you Alex & the author. "
— Kj, 2/6/2014" This was a pretty good book. Better than the AVERAGE BEACH BOOK. Good development of the main charactor and some good suprises. It deserves a 3.6. "
— Neal, 1/28/2014" Jonathan Kellerman is a well-known author so i figured to give this a try, my first kellerman book and it didn't dissapoint me. a very interesting plot and it's a read-until-you-drop book. ;) "
— rheeza, 1/28/2014" I found this book very slow. I thought the idea was interesting but there was little to no action until the last part of the book. "
— Alex, 1/18/2014" another kellerman thriller. it continues his tradition of making me want to keep reading. "
— John, 12/25/2013" It would have been less painful to cut my wrists, quite frankly. "
— Sergey, 12/24/2013" A slight departure from the Alex Delaware novels, Kellerman doesn't leave the profession with his main character, just the LA area. I found this character new and very interesting. He wasn't perfect, he just seemed determined, which made me want to keep reading. "
— Justin, 12/23/2013" Another new author for me. I found myself in a state of suspense at various times in this nove. I would have liked to "meet" the villain earlier in the novel, but I guess that would have defeated the purpose of the "conspiracy club". Good story. "
— Barbara, 12/14/2013" I loved this and appreciated the psychology. "
— Jewett, 12/5/2013" Another great book by Kellerman. I enjoyed this book. The pace was easy. A good summer read. "
— Teresa, 12/1/2013" I usually love Kellerman, but this one only satisfied at the end. "
— Luckngrace, 11/29/2013" A little spooky to think how some people can insinuate themselves into places just by appearing they belong...good mystery "
— Kay, 10/1/2013" A strange read that keeps you guessing. Gave me a weird sense of deja vu as it is similar to other books of the genre. "
— Jaclyn, 9/25/2013" Slow starter, a little hard to follow - not my favorite of his books, but good ending "
— Marsha, 7/13/2013" First of all this isn't a Alex Delaware book. I was reading and waiting for him to appear,alas,neither Dr. Delaware nor Milo. The main character wasn't very interesting. It didn't hold my interest. "
— Minrose, 1/13/2013" Too sexual to recommend. Brain manure. "
— Natalie, 12/21/2012" This was a good book. I listened to the abridged version, and I can't imagine what the full length book had in it that the abridged version didn't. There were definatlely times that I felt like it dragged on. Overall though, the ending was a surprise and it was worth listening to. "
— Candace, 11/7/2012" An excellent mystery that left me puzzled to the end. "
— Arlene, 9/25/2012" Psychlogical medical suspense mystery. A secret conspiracy club helps unsuspecting people to find criminals. Kellerman takes the suspense genre to a new level with his turn of a phrase, high brow quotes, vocabulary. A pleasure to read. "
— Lynn, 6/15/2012" Jonathan Kellerman - surely my guilty pleasure author. Good story. Different that he didn't have his usual characters of Alex Delaware or Rick Sturgis. "
— Pat, 5/14/2012" This book did a good job of keeping my interest. I wanted to know how it would end and therefore was determined to finish it. Its not at all bad, it just didnt have any of that extra awesomeness that stands out to me. Im sure I will quickly forget about reading this book. "
— Sarah, 1/6/2012" The main character didnt have any morals... and chapters were very short to build any real interest! "
— Mo, 11/25/2011" Actually this was better than I expected and well concluded tale of a doctor tracking a serial killer "
— Ros, 8/30/2011" This was a pretty good book. Better than the AVERAGE BEACH BOOK. Good development of the main charactor and some good suprises. It deserves a 3.6. "
— Neal, 5/10/2011" I have read several of these books over the years & really like the The Conspiracy Club.. It grabbed me and took me onto a unnerving ride... "
— Donna, 5/2/2011" Uma leitura de qualidade, muito agradável! "
— Babete, 2/1/2011" Dr. Jeremy Carrier hunts down a twenty-first-century Jack the Ripper. Starts slow but picks up at the end. "
— Hapzydeco, 11/16/2010" Good but not one of his best. "
— Mommom, 10/21/2010" I give it a "D" for disappointing. An utterly implausible story and no real suspense. <br/> <br/>This book makes me wonder why Kellerman's (once great) books continue to be well reviewed and hit the best seller lists. Habit I guess. "
— Bart, 10/10/2010" This book did a good job of keeping my interest. I wanted to know how it would end and therefore was determined to finish it. Its not at all bad, it just didnt have any of that extra awesomeness that stands out to me. Im sure I will quickly forget about reading this book. "
— Sarah, 9/2/2010" The main character didnt have any morals... and chapters were very short to build any real interest! "
— Mo, 8/26/2010" This books was ok. The first several chapters were mindnumbing, but it did pick up the pace and keep me interested till the end. I might check out his other books with the character Alex Delaware I hear they are much better. "
— Jeremy, 7/8/2010" Good book, suspenseful, puzzling to the end. "
— Terry, 6/17/2010" I always give a book 50 pages. The premise was interesting, but the book really wasn't holding my interest, and when I read on page 58 "She had bosoms you could rest a dictionary on," I gave up. Dude, just say she's stacked. We get it. "
