NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * A former star athlete turned deputy coroner is drawn into a brutal, complicated murder in this psychological thriller from a father-son writing team that delivers "brilliant, page-turning fiction" (Stephen King). Natural causes or foul play? That's the question Clay Edison must answer each time he examines a body. Figuring out motives and chasing down suspects aren't part of his beat--not until a seemingly open-and-shut case proves to be more than meets his highly trained eye. Eccentric, reclusive Walter Rennert lies cold at the bottom of his stairs. At first glance the scene looks straightforward: a once-respected psychology professor, done in by booze and a bad heart. But his daughter Tatiana insists that her father has been murdered, and she persuades Clay to take a closer look at the grim facts of Rennert's life. What emerges is a history of scandal and violence, and an experiment gone horribly wrong that ended in the brutal murder of a coed. Walter Rennert, it appears, was a broken man--and maybe a marked one. And when Clay learns that a colleague of Rennert's died in a nearly identical manner, he begins to question everything in the official record. All the while, his relationship with Tatiana is evolving into something forbidden. The closer they grow, the more determined he becomes to catch her father's killer--even if he has to overstep his bounds to do it. The twisting trail Clay follows will lead him into the darkest corners of the human soul. It's his job to listen to the tales the dead tell. But this time, he's part of a story that makes his blood run cold. Praise for Crime Scene "You could drive yourself crazy trying to figure out who wrote what. . . . But whoever came up with the fine line, 'When I meet new people, they're usually dead,' should pat himself on the back." --The New York Times Book Review "A terrific book . . . Put Crime Scene at the top of your reading pile." -- Bookreporter "A character-driven, intricately plotted whodunit . . . Mystery readers will devour the book and look forward to the next father and son collaboration." --Press Republican

ReviewsPraise for the father-son writing team of Jonathan Kellerman and Jesse Kellerman "Brilliant, page-turning fiction . . . I spent three days totally lost in the world Jonathan and Jesse Kellerman have created. . . . A rare collaboration where the sum is truly greater than the parts . . . an extraordinary work of detection, suspense, and supernatural mystery." --Stephen King, on The Golem of Hollywood "Two masters of psychological suspense weave a sprawling contemporary whodunit. . . . A witty, propulsive, and frequently chilling read." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review), on The Golem of Hollywood "A wonderful, haunting tale . . . a seamless collaboration between two extremely talented authors with very different styles.
