Now comes \u003ci\u003eMotive,\u003c\/i\u003e which pits psychologist Alex Delaware and homicide cop Milo Sturgis against a vicious criminal mind-the kind only Kellerman can bring to chilling life.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven having hundreds of closed cases to his credit can't keep LAPD police lieutenant Milo Sturgis from agonizing over the crimes that don't get solved-and the victims who go without justice. Victims like Katherine Hennepin, a young woman strangled and stabbed in her home. A single suspect with a solid alibi leads to a dead end-one even Alex Delaware's expert insight can't explain. The only thing to do is move on to the next murder case-because there's always a next one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis time the victim is Ursula Corey: a successful, attractive divorcée who's been gunned down-not a robbery but an execution, a crime that smacks of simple, savage revenge. And along with that theoretical motive come two strong contenders for the role of perp: the dead woman's business partner\/ex-husband and her divorce lawyer\/secret lover. But just as Alex and Milo think they're zeroing in on the most likely suspect, a bizarre new clue stirs up eerie echoes of the unsolved Hennepin murder. And the discovery of yet another crime scene bearing the same taunting signature raises the specter of a serial killer on a mission, whose twisted method is exceeded only by his manipulative and cunning madness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47161845907696,"sku":"2940169409505","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169409505_p0.jpg?v=1763781750","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169409505","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
