Bad Love

Bad Love by Jonathan Kellerman It came in a plain brown
wrapper no return address—an audiocassette recording of a
horrifying soul-lacerating scream followed by the sound of
a childlike voice chanting: Bad love. Bad love. Dont give
me the bad love. For Alex Delaware the tape is the first
intimation that he is about to enter a living nightmare.
Others soon follow: disquieting laughter echoing over a
phone line that suddenly goes dead and a chilling act of
trespass and vandalism. He has become the target of a
carefully orchestrated campaign of vague threats and
intimidation rapidly building to a crescendo as harassment
turns to terror mischief to madness. With the help of his
friend LAPD detective Milo Sturgis Alex uncovers a series
of violent deaths that may follow a diabolical pattern.
And if he fails to decipher the twisted logic of the
stalker’s mind games Alex will be the next to die.
