Years earlier, psychologist Alex Delaware evaluated two young boys, Troy Turner and Rand Duchay, after they confessed to the horrific murder of a small child. Troy eventually dies violently in prison, while Rand survives his sentence and is released into a world where the crime continues to define him.
Now twenty-one, Rand unexpectedly contacts Alex and says he needs to talk. Something from the past is troubling him, and his cryptic words suggest there may have been much more to the original murder than anyone understood. Before Alex can learn what Rand knows, the young man is found dead.
Working with LAPD detective Milo Sturgis, Alex reopens the disturbing history surrounding the childhood murder. Their investigation leads through dysfunctional families, troubled children, old betrayals, and secrets that have remained hidden for years. What begins as the murder of a former juvenile offender gradually exposes something far darker—and someone willing to kill to keep the past buried.
EugeneBookStore Summary
A dark, psychologically driven Alex Delaware novel in which an old crime refuses to stay buried.
Rage is especially effective for readers who enjoy Kellerman’s combination of psychology and traditional detective work. Instead of beginning with an entirely new mystery, Alex and Milo must reconsider a case from Alex’s own past and determine whether what everyone believed years earlier was actually true.
The result is a layered crime thriller built around guilt, childhood violence, memory, and long-hidden secrets, with the Alex Delaware–Milo Sturgis partnership at the center of the investigation.
Collector Notes
Rage is Book #19 in Jonathan Kellerman’s long-running Alex Delaware series, following Therapy. This copy is the 2006 Ballantine mass-market paperback edition, ISBN 9780345467072, rather than the 2005 hardcover first edition. As a later paperback edition, it is primarily desirable as an affordable reading or series-completion copy rather than as a high-value collectible. The visible edge, corner, and surface wear keeps this copy appropriately in Good condition.
