Survival of the fittest

Summary: The slightly retarded 15-year-old daughter of a diplomat dies on a school trip - forced or lured into a deserted corner of the Santa Monica mountains and killed in cold blood. Her father adamantly denies the possibility of a political motive, which leaves the LAPD detective Milo Sturgis and his longtime friend psychologist Alex Delaware to pose the question: why? There are no signs of a struggle, no evidence of a sexual assault - and there are no easy answers. Just one innocent youngster...dead. The victim's father is so intent on controlling the investigation that Alex and Milo start to wonder id he wants to bring out the truth - or make sure it stays buried. Then there is another killing, and within days Alex finds himself ensnared in one of the darkest, most menacing cases of his career. Driven to find answers, he and Milo will work closely with Inspector Daniel Sharavi, the brilliant Israeli detective. In the end though it is Alex who will go undercover, alone, to expose the smug brutality of a murderous conspiracy and terrifying contempt for human life.
