Murder stalks the LA art world in A COLD HEART, a page-turning and perturbing novels from No. 1 international bestselling Jonathan Kellerman, author of KILLER, MOTIVE and BREAKDOWN. 'Jonathan Kellerman has justly earned his reputation as a master of psychological thriller' (People), and his powerful stories will appeal to all those who love John Grisham and David Baldacci. Juliet Kipper, a gifted painter, is strangled in the LA gallery where her first solo show has opened to critical acclaim, and Milo Sturgis takes on the murder investigation as a favour to an old friend. He consults Alex Delaware, who, researching parallels with other deaths, looks for artists killed when on the verge of a breakthrough or comeback. And he finds two others. The investigation points to a gruesome, sadistic pattern of death, taking Milo and Alex into the dark side of the art world, and Alex's ex-lover Robin into terrible danger.

On a lonely lover's lane in the hills of Los Angeles, a young couple lies murdered in a car. Each has a gunshot wound in the head. The female victim has also been impaled by a metal spike. It's a stroke of savage fury that tells LAPD detective Milo Sturgis that this case will call for more than standard police procedure. The dead woman remains unidentified, but her companion has a name - Gavin Quick. His troubled past had eventually landed him on a psychologist's coach and Milo hopes that his friend Alex Delaware will be able to find vital clues. -- back cover

One of the most intelligent and influential women in America reflects on her eight years as First Lady of the United States in a revealing book -personal, political and newsmaking. During her husband's two administrations, Hillary Rodham Clinton redefined the position of First Lady. How this intensely private woman not only survived but prevailed is the dramatic tale of her book. Hillary Clinton shares the untold story of her White House years and recalls the challenging process by which she came to define herself as a wife, a mother, and a formidable politician in her own right. Mrs Clinton was the first First Lady who played a direct role in shaping domestic policy; she was an unofficial ambassador for human rights and democracy around the world; and she helped save the Presidency during the impeachment crisis.
