Jonathan Kellerman: Therapy (USA 2013)

From the Publisher:
Behind the yellow crime-scene tape, a brutal tableau awaits. On a lonely lovers' lane in the hills of Los Angeles, a young couple lies murdered in a car. Each victim bears a single gunshot wound to the head. Though the female remains unidentified, her male companion has a name -- Gavin Quick -- and a troubled past that had landed him on a therapist's couch.

It's there, on familiar turf, that psychologist-sleuth Alex Delaware hopes to find vital clues. And that means going head-to-head with Dr. Mary Lou Koppel, a celebrity psychologist who fiercely guards the privacy of her clients... alive or dead. As Delaware follows a chain of greed, corruption, and betrayal snaking hideously through the profession he thought he knew, he'll cross into territory even he never dreamed of treading.

'Been a while since I had me a nice little whodunit,' Milo Sturgis tells psychologist Alex Delaware. Though there's definitely nothing nice about the brutal tableau behind the yellow crime-scene tape. On a lonely lovers' lane in the hills of Los Angeles, a young couple lies murdered in a car. Each bears a single gunshot wound to the head. But the female victim has also been impaled by a metal spike. And that savage stroke of psychopathic fury tells Milo this case will call for more than standard police procedure. As he explains to Delaware, 'Now we're veering into your territory.'

But when there's another gruesomely familiar murder, Delaware surmises that his investigation has struck a nerve. As he trolls the twisted wreckage of Quick's tormented last days, what he finds isn't madness, but the cold-blooded method behind it. And as he follows a chain of greed, corruption, and betrayal snaking hideously through the profession he thought he knew, he'll discover territory where even he never dreamed of treading.
