| Rage
Randolph (Rand) Duchay and Troy Turner, both age thirteen, kidnap and kill a two-year-old girl after trying to get her to puff on a cigarette and drink some beer. Big surprise--she gagged, cried and fussed. Psychologist Alex Delaware was asked by the judge to evaluate each kid and submit his opinion to the judge as to whether they should be tried as juveniles or adults. They're tried and sent off to separate youth detention centers. Troy is dead six weeks later. Rand gets out at age 20 and is dead three days later. However, hours before his death, he called Delaware, asking to meet with him. Alex and his police friend, homicide detective Milo Sturgis, begin investigating Rand's murder. The investigation leads them to all sorts of crazy people, relationships and situations. I've enjoyed Mr. K's past books; but lately he seems to be avoiding the suspense factor in his stories. This book leaves a few loose ends and Alex's love life up in the air. |
