Few know the town of Los Angeles the way number-one best-selling author and acclaimed suspense get good at Jonathan Kellerman will. His thrilling books of psychological dilemma and criminal recognition make the capital of dreams a full time income, breathing character in all its glamour and infamy. That storied history of fame, seduction, scandal, and murder looms large in Enigma, as Alex Delaware discovers himself drawn into a twisting, shadowy whodunit that's real L.A. noir-and antique Kellerman. The final of a common loving rendezvous, the Fauborg Hotel in Beverly Hills, is a miserable occasion for longtime customers Alex Delaware and Robin Castagna. And gathering one last time using their fellow faithful habitués for cocktails in the gracious old place makes for a bittersweet nighttime. But even more poignant is a eye-catching young woman-alone and enigmatic among the revelers-waiting in vain in chic outfit and dark eyeglasses that do nothing to conceal her melancholy. Alex can't help questioning what her storyline is, and whether she's connected to the silent, black-suited bodyguard lingering outside the hotel. Two days later, Alex has even more to contemplate when authorities detective Milo Sturgis comes seeking his psychologist comrade's insights in regards to a grisly homicide. To Alex's surprise, the brutalized victim is the same beautiful female whose lonely time sipping champagne at the Fauborg might have been her last. But with a mutilated body and no DNA match, she remains as incomprehensible in loss of life as she looked like in life. And even when a tipster's sordid revelation finally splits the case open up, the dark secrets that spill out could make Alex and Milo's best efforts to close this horrific criminal offense not just impossible but fatal.
