Moses Reed and Aaron Fox have the same mother; their respective fathers were cops, friends, and partners. And despite their shared calling, their turbulent family history has set them at odds. Moses is a no-frills LAPD detective; Aaron is a smooth-talking private eye. Usually they go their separate ways, but the disappearance of straight-A student Caitlin Frostig isn’t usual. Reluctantly tag-teaming to crack a cold case that won’t die, Moses and Aaron descend into the sinister underside of the City of Angels. Surrounded by twisted millionaire moguls, tarnished trophy wives, and famous faces with hellish secrets, they pull no punches as they penetrate the strange, seductive world of glamour, wealth, and power to keep L.A.’s dark dreamland from claiming another lost soul.

"If you are looking for Kellerman's usual characters, Dr. Alex Delaware and Detective Milo Sturgis, they play extremely minor roles in this book. The two main characters were introduced in the last Kellerman book. One is a Caucasian police detective who is a bit rough around the edges, and the other is an African-American private detective who dresses in designer suits. They happen to have the same mother, and much animosity between them. They both end up working on the same missing persons case. It is interesting to see how they come to share evidence and solve the case. I miss Alex and Milo, though!"
— Susan (4 out of 5 stars)
Jonathan Kellerman’s novels are an obsession; once started it is hard to quit.
— Orlando SentinelNo one does psychological suspense as well as Jonathan Kellerman.
— Detroit Free Press“[Jonathan] Kellerman really knows how to keep those pages turning.
— New York Times Book Review" somewhat different for kellerman since delaware and milo are bit characters, but the relationship between half brothers was intriguing and i enjoyed it. good ending. "
— Barb, 2/13/2014" Basic Jonathan Kellerman story. "
— Sue, 2/5/2014" ok - writing seemed flat to me. characters ok but also flat, almost as if someone else is writing this book. "
— Ruth, 2/3/2014" This was sub-par for Kellerman. I expect better from him. "
— Richard, 1/30/2014" The dynamics between Moses and Aaron are interesting. This book tells more of the story of when they were young, but it still didn't fully explain why Mo is not a fan of Aaron. "
— Desiree, 1/22/2014" More like a 3.5 star rating, the story sped along but ended just so-so. "
— Martha, 1/20/2014" The investigations of Moe Reed and Aaron Fox who were tertiary characters in an earlier novel...step-brothers of a widow...fathered by a black white then white policeman...with mutual animus between them are thrown together...interesting character development and study of sibling rivalry...the plot is just a so-so sordid Hollywood murder mystery...comforting to note they consult with both Alex Delaware and his close friend Milo Sturgis...a fun read, well worth my time "
— Mark, 1/14/2014" Was a bit of a slog to keep going. Not a very good read. "
— Christine, 1/13/2014" I really enjoyed this mystery novel. It had great characters and a plot that kept me guessing until the end. "
— Layne, 12/31/2013" I enjoyed the complexity of the relationship between the brothers. "
— Wendy, 12/25/2013" Another great book from Jonathan Kellerman. In this book he combines characters from past books and also manages to get in a mention of his wife's main character from her book "Peter Decker". Great, Great read. "
— Linda, 11/30/2013" So far...a slow start. Bring Alex Delaware back for more! "
— Chrissy, 11/29/2013" No action. A lot of going over and over what the clues are. Confusion of who were these guys? "
— Patty, 11/22/2013" Not an Alex Delaware novel but with all the familiar faces. Coming from the perspectives of two very different detectives and with some very interesting glimpses into their background, this book does not play out in the more typical fashion of other Kellerman books. A good read all around. "
— Amber, 11/14/2013" Another hit for Kellerman. Couldn't put it down. "
— Linda, 11/9/2013" This book was, as always, good. I read it in a day. "
— Kristin, 9/2/2013" I listened to this one, and really had a hard time holding on to who was who and why I was even interested in them. "
— Sdunbar, 11/5/2012" Pretty good. I really think we need half-stars, so this would be a 3.5 "
— Rick, 10/28/2012" Interesting see Kellerman focus on a couple of new characters. I was disappointed only in that this story did not have the same paced action as many of his other books. This one was a little dry. "
— Beverly, 7/15/2012" Not enough of Dr Delaware "
— Tara, 6/10/2012" Not his best novel, but I still love Kellreman as an author. "
— Penny, 5/11/2012" It was a decent read. Some parts were really good - some of the relationships were very interesting. Some parts kind of dark and yuck. "
— Christina, 3/25/2012" This writer always tells a good story. The story grabs you from the first page. His protaganists are 2 characters he introduced the last book, Moses Reed and Aaron Fox who are 1/2 brothers and one is white and one is black. The story of a missing girl becomes a search for another girl and a baby. "
— Susan, 1/28/2012" Did not like it as well as I have all of Kellerman's others. "
— Sally, 12/1/2011" This was my first introduction to Moses Reed and Aaron Fox and a Kellerman book that isn't Alex Cross. The story line was engrosing enough but the ending felt flat and anti-climatic. <br/> <br/>On the bright side I really enjoy audio books on long car trips!! "
— Cheryl, 5/9/2011" Enjoyed the interaction of the two brothers while solving the mystery. "
— Karen, 5/2/2011" Pretty gripping with a good twist at the end... "
— Melanie, 4/10/2011" In my humble opinion, not among Jonathan Kellerman's best... "
— Sue, 3/3/2011" OK. Seemed kind of long and slow. Obviously, I was reading it for a long time, which may have made it seem that way! "
— Avary, 2/22/2011" Love that Kellerman paints a picture of Los Angeles during the late 30-50's. "
— CinintheCity, 2/7/2011" this book features a new team of detectives who are brothers. they were introduced in a previous alex delaware novel. great characters! "
— Martha, 1/27/2011" Competent as always but I got bored with all the designer clothes descriptions. "
— Margaret, 12/16/2010" Love the way Jonathan Kellerman develops stories and the characters within. I can't keep up! (but I'll keep trying to read all of his books) "
— Jahi, 12/2/2010" Psychological suspense gets to you at your core! "
— Shelly, 11/19/2010" This was a good "beach" read. Unfortunately, I had to leave the beach before I finished it. It was entertaining with an interesting dynamic between two brothers with the same mother, but different fathers. <br/> "
— Muriel, 11/4/2010" I really enjoyed this mystery novel. It had great characters and a plot that kept me guessing until the end. "
— Layne, 10/13/2010" Jonathon Kellerman is one of my favorite mystery authors. This book doesn't disappoint "
— Tjwait, 10/1/2010" Another winner, with close ties to the Alex Delaware series. Love the way this guy writes. "
