True Detectives

Read True Detectives Storyline:

In Jonathan Kellerman’s
gripping novels, the city of Los Angeles is as much a living, breathing
character as the heroes and villains who roam its labyrinthine streets.
Sunny on the surface but shadowy beneath, this world of privilege and
pleasure has a dark core and a dangerous edge. In True Detectives,
Kellerman skillfully brings his renowned gifts for breathless suspense
and sharp psychological insight to a tale that resonates on every level
and satisfies at every turn.Bound by blood but divided by
troubles as old as Cain and Abel, Moses Reed and Aaron Fox were first
introduced in Kellerman’s bestselling Bones. They are sons of the same
strong-willed mother, and their respective fathers were cops, partners,
and friends. Their turbulent family history has set them at odds,
despite their shared calling. Moses—part Boy Scout, part bulldog, man of
few words—is a no-frills LAPD detective. Aaron, sharp dresser and
smooth operator, is an ex-cop turned high-end private eye. Usually they
go their separate ways. But the disappearance of Caitlin Frostig isn’t
usual. For Moses, it’s an ice-cold mystery he just can’t outrun, even
with the help of psychologist Alex Delaware and detective Milo Sturgis.
For Aaron, it’s a billable-hours bonanza from his most lucrative client.
Like it or not, Moses and Aaron are in this one together–and the
rivalry that rules them won’t let either man quit till the case is
cracked.A straight-arrow, straight-A student from Malibu,
Caitlin has only two men in her life: her sullen single father and her
wholesome college sweetheart, who even the battling brothers agree seems
too downright upright to be true. Reluctantly tag-teaming in a
desperate search for fresh leads, Moses and Aaron zero in on Caitlin’s
white knight as their primary “person of interest,” hoping that, like
most people in L.A., he has a secret side.But they uncover more
than just a secret as they descend into the sinister, seamy side of the
City of Angels after dark, populated by a Hollywood Babylon cast of the
glamorous and the damned: a millionaire movie director turned
hatemongering eccentric; a desperate Beverly Hills housewife looking for
an exit from the fast lane; a heartthrob actor being eaten alive by
personal demons; a hooker who’s probably seen it all . . . and might
just know too much. And at the center, a dead young woman whose downward
spiral and brutal end loom over Moses and Aaron like an omen of what
may come to be if the dark end of the street claims another lost soul.
