THE WORST THING ABOUT DEATHBED CONFESSIONS IS THAT YOU RARELY FIND OUT WHY ...
... Or, in this case, who.
Psychologist Alex Delaware hasn't seen Tanya Bigelow since she was a little girl, when Tanya's strange behaviour forced her guardian, Patty, to seek professional help. Now Tanya is a young woman and Patty is dead - though she didn't die nearly as quietly as she lived ...
After Alex promises Tanya that he'll look into the 'terrible thing' that Patty used her final few breaths to hint at, two things quickly become obvious. First, that the mysterious crime wasn't necessarily Patty's only secret; and second, that Alex's cop friend Milo Sturgis picked a bad week to take a quiet vacation.
As the pair follow a murky trail through the sordid alleys of LA clubland in search of the truth about Patty Bigelow, they discover that the danger she whispered about is still alive and well. But the dying is far from over.
Obsession is the latest masterclass in crime writing from the man who has 'shaped the psychological mystery novel into an art form' (LA Times).
