Summary:
"Lauren Teague is a beautiful, defiant, borderline delinquent
teenager when her parents bring her to Alex Delaware's office. But
for all Alex's skill and effort, Lauren resists - angrily,
provocatively. Reluctantly, the psychologist chalks Lauren up as one
of the inevitable failures of a challenging profession. But years
later, when Alex comes face-to-face with Lauren in a shocking
encounter, both doctor and patient are stricken with shame.
And then the ultimate horror takes place when, soon after, Lauren's
brutalized corpse is found dumped in an alley. Alex disregards the
advice of his trusted friend LAPD detective Milo Sturgis, and
jeopardizes his relationship with his longtime lover, Robin Castagna,
in order to pursue Lauren's murderer.
As he investigates his young patient's troubled past, Alex enters the
shadowy worlds of fringe psychological experimentation and the sex
industry, and then steps into mortal danger where lust and big money
collide in Southern California."--BOOK JACKET.
