Today's featured new hardcover mystery, suspense, or thriller title scheduled to be published during February 2015 is …
Motive by Jonathan Kellerman, an Alex Delaware Mystery (30th in series)
Publisher: Ballantine
Even having hundreds of closed cases to his credit can't keep LAPD police lieutenant Milo Sturgis from agonizing over the crimes that don't get solved — and the victims who go without justice. Victims like Katherine Hennepin, a young woman strangled and stabbed in her home. A single suspect with a solid alibi leads to a dead end — one even Alex Delaware's expert insight can't explain. The only thing to do is move on to the next murder case — because there's always a next one.
This time the victim is Ursula Corey: a successful, attractive divorcée who's been gunned down — not a robbery but an execution, a crime that smacks of simple, savage revenge. And along with that theoretical motive come two strong contenders for the role of perp: the dead woman's business partner/ex-husband and her divorce lawyer/secret lover. But just as Alex and Milo think they're zeroing in on the most likely suspect, a bizarre new clue stirs up eerie echoes of the unsolved Hennepin murder. And the discovery of yet another crime scene bearing the same taunting signature raises the specter of a serial killer on a mission, whose twisted method is exceeded only by his manipulative and cunning madness.
