"Evidence" - Jonathan Kellerman
Product Description(Amazon.com)

In the half-built skeleton of a monstrously vulgar mansion in one of L.A.’s toniest neighborhoods, a watchman stumbles on the bodies of a young couple–murdered in flagrante and left in a gruesome postmortem embrace. Though he’s cracked some of the city’s worst slayings, veteran homicide cop Milo Sturgis is still shocked at the grisly sight: a twisted crime that only Milo’s killer instincts–and psychologist Alex Delaware’s keen insights–can hope to solve.

While the female victim’s identity remains a question mark, her companion is ID’d as eco-friendly architect Desmond Backer, who disdains the sort of grandiose superstructure he’s found dead in. And the late Mr. Backer, it’s revealed was also notorious for his power to seduce women.

The rare exception is his ex-boss, Helga Gemein, who’s as indifferent to Desmond’s death as she apparently was to his advances. Though Milo and Alex place her on their short list of suspects, the deeper they dig for clues the longer the list grows. An elusive prince who appears to harbor decidedly American appetites, an eccentric blueblood with an ax to grind, one of Desmond’s restless ex-lovers and her cuckolded husband–all are in the homicidal mix spiced with eco-terrorism, arson, blackmail, conspiracy, and a vendetta that runs deep. But when the investigation veers suddenly in a startling direction, it’s the investigators who may wind up on the wrong end of a cornered predator’s final fury.

MY THOUGHTS: Milo Stugis and Alex Delaware are at it again. Trying to solve a bizarre double murder that eventually leads them to a small island of the cost of India. But is also linked to revenge of a sister's death. Milo and Alex get involved with the FBI on this one. One of their murder victims is linked to eco - terrorism. Which the FBI is investigating. They also have to deal with foreign diplomats and this gets them into trouble trying to get the information they need to solve this crime. As usual Mr. Kellerman's writing has you involved in more than murder and more than one murder. If you follow the Alex Delaware series you will want to read this book! On the edge of your seat reading!
