Survival of the Fittest

An Alex Delaware Novel

By: Jonathan Kellerman

Narrated by: Alexander Adams

The daughter of a diplomat disappears on a school field trip—lured into the Santa Monica Mountains and killed in cold blood. Her father denies the possibility of a political motive. There are no signs of struggle and no evidence of sexual assault, leaving psychologist Alex Delaware and his friend LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis to pose the essential question: Why?

Working with Daniel Sharavi, a brilliant Israeli police inspector, Delaware and Sturgis soon find themselves ensnared in one of the darkest, most menacing cases of their careers. And when death strikes again, it is Alex who must go undercover, alone, to expose an unthinkable conspiracy of self-righteous brutality and total contempt for human life.

“Feverish in pace and rich in characters . . . a chilling and irresistible thriller.”—People©1997 Jonathan Kellerman; (P)1998 Books on Tape Inc.

Up to Alex Delaware standards

I've always liked Jonathan Kellerman /Alex Delaware, and enjoy his novels. I haven't read a bad one yet.

Excellent

Excellent as always. I love the Alex and Milo together - and I love the way they work a case. This story was about those of us that aren't perfect and makes you think of how we can improve on the treatment of others. But most of all - it's a great mystery! Another good book for a long trip!

I wish all of them were read by Alexander Adams!

I had this with a different narrator, but I didn't enjoy his style, so I bought this one. Alexander Adams should narrate them all.

GREAT STORY

Really enjoyed this story. Right up until the end. Was happy that Daniel sent the photo and was alright.

As usual Mr. Kellerman has woven a great Alex Delaware story that brings back all of my favorite characters, Alex, Milo, Petra and
Robin. This tale was more predictable that others but still a great read.
