Once again, the depths of the criminal mind and the darkest side of a glittering city fuel #1
New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman's brilliant storytelling. And no one conducts
a more harrowing and suspenseful manhunt than the modern Sherlock Holmes of the psyche, Dr. Alex
Delaware.
A tipsy young woman seeking aid on a desolate highway disappears into the inky black night. A
retired schoolteacher is stabbed to death in broad daylight. Two women are butchered after closing
time in a small-town beauty parlor. These and other bizarre acts of cruelty and psychopathology
are linked only by the killer's use of luxury vehicles and a baffling lack of motive. The ultimate
whodunits, these crimes demand the attention of LAPD detective Milo Sturgis and his collaborator
on the crime beat, psychologist Alex Delaware.
What begins with a solitary bloodstain in a stolen sedan quickly spirals outward in odd and
unexpected directions, leading Delaware and Sturgis from the well-heeled center of L.A. society to
its desperate edges; across the paths of commodities brokers and transvestite hookers; and as far
away as New York City, where the search thaws out a long-cold case and exposes a grotesque
homicidal crusade. The killer proves to be a fleeting shape-shifter, defying identification,
leaving behind dazed witnesses and death-and compelling Alex and Milo to confront the true face of
murderous madness.

There's never before been a book like Gallop! Employing a patented new technology called
Scanimation, each page is a marvel that brings animals, along with one shining star, to life with
art that literally moves. It's impossible not to flip the page, and flip it again, and again, and
again.
A first book of motion for kids, it shows a horse in full gallop and a turtle swimming up the
page. A dog runs, a cat springs, an eagle soars, and a butterfly flutters. Created by Rufus Butler
Seder, an inventor, artist, and filmmaker fascinated by antique optical toys, Scanimation is a
state-of-the-art six-phase animation process that combines the "persistence of vision" principle
with a striped acetate overlay to give the illusion of movement. It harkens back to the old magical
days of the kinetoscope, and the effect is astonishing, like a Muybridge photo series springing into
action-or, in terms kids can relate to, like a video without a screen. Complementing the art is a
delightful rhyming text full of simple questions and fun, nonsense replies: Can you gallop like a
horse? giddyup-a-loo! Can you strut like a rooster? cock-a-doodle-doo!
Every child who opens the book will be amazed-and so will every parent.
