It was nothing Petra would have ever noticed, even if it had stared her in the face. And her initial reaction is big deal.

          Detective Petra Connor is working Hollywood Homicide solo. She’s struggling with a baffling drive-past murder when Isaac Gomez, a young research prodigy, tells her he’s found something she might want to take a look at. His theory that there’s a connection between six unsolved murders committed in the LAPD area over the past six years, all at around midnight on June 28, seems fanciful at first – but soon the links become clearer.

          Something evil has managed to conceal itself between the dry pages of the files: a series of killings so meticulously constructed that the mind behind them would have remained invisible without Isaac’s sharp probing. And June 28 is just a month away – will Petra be able to stop the murderer from striking again?

          TWISTED is the second Petra Connor novel and a superb example of Jonathan Kellerman’s mastery of the psychological thriller. In a work as compelling as anything he’s written, the Sunday Times bestselling author builds up suspense so sobtly that the reader is hooked without knowing it, and drawn on to the very last page.
