Private Eyes: Jonathan Kellerman

Alex Delaware 6. Psychologist Alex Delaware regarded Monica Dickinson as a great success - from terrified, tormented seven year old to seeming total recovery in two years. But nine years later, Monica is anxious for her mother, wealthy widow Gina Dickinson, who has hidden herself from the world for two decades, ever since a vicious acid attack destroyed the face of Hollywood actress Gina Prince. The reclusive Gina climbs into her car - and disappears. As Alex and Detective Milo Sturgis lead the search for her, they find themselves in a grotesque, labyrinthine private history as violent and sinister as any nightmare.
