Synopsis
After solving a case that involved a hated female professor in THE CLINIC, Dr. Alex Delaware is once again asked by LAPD detective Milo Sturgis to find the killer of a despised woman in this grisly thriller. Dr. Claire Argent, a reclusive and harsh staff psychologist at the Starkweather State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, was recently found miles from the asylum with her throat slit and her eyes cut out. While any one of her patients might be seen as mentally capable of committing such a horrific crime, their steel-tight incarceration provides them with ironclad alibis. But that doesn't stop Alex from suspecting Ardis Peake, a psychotic who almost never leaves his room and, aside from the occasional mumble concerning an upcoming murder, rarely speaks. Aggressive probing leads Alex to details about Dr. Argent's past, which surprisingly include connections to Ardis. Could this nonfunctional madman be the monster Alex is looking for?

Industry Reviews
"Alert, ironic and absorbing."
Oakes
"Both Sturgis and Delaware occasionally make some surprising imaginative leaps owing to authorial manipulation, and the book does suffer from a fairly long denoument. But these flaws are not enough to bring the compelling story to a halt."
Guran
"MONSTER [is] a gory thriller of surprising psychological substance."
Stasio
"Some sharp plot twists and a very tantalizing mystery make this one of the strongest entries in the Delaware series."
Chicago Tribune - Chris Petrakos (12/20/1999)
