Title: monster
First published: 1999
Description: ***A second-rate actor is found mutilated in a car trunk.*** Then a psychologist at a Los Angeles hospital for the criminally insane is murdered in a similar grisly fashion. Suddenly the incoherent ramblings of an inmate at the presumably secure institution begin to make chilling sense--they are, in fact, horrifying predictions.

Yet how can a barely functional psychotic locked behind asylum walls possibly know such vivid details of crimes committed in the outside world?

**Drawn into a labyrinth of secrets, revenge, sex, and manipulation, Dr. Alex Delaware and Detective Milo Sturgis set out to unlock this enigma and put an end to the brutal killings--before the madman predicts their own demise. . . .*--Bk Cvr***
