A Psychologist's Reluctant Return to Darkness
When Dr. Alex Delaware's doorbell rings at his hillside Bel Air home, it shatters more than his peaceful early retirement. His visitor, Detective Milo Sturgis, pulls him back into a world he thought he'd escaped-one filled with damaged psyches and unspeakable crimes. A psychiatrist named Morton Handler and his companion have been brutally murdered, with seven-year-old Melody Quinn as the only potential witness. Despite initial reluctance and haunting memories of a past traumatic case involving someone named Hickle, Delaware agrees to help interview the child. This decision marks the end of Delaware's "Be-kind-to-Alex time"-a necessary healing period after burning out spectacularly. A prodigy who earned his Ph.D. at 24 and became a program director at Western Pediatric Medical Center by 28, Delaware had pushed himself to exhaustion with 70-hour workweeks until Hickle's suicide in his home triggered dramatic life changes. Now, those peaceful days of playing guitar, reading for enjoyment, and building a relationship with Robin are about to end. What makes Delaware such a compelling protagonist is this contradiction: a brilliant professional who burned out dramatically, yet can't resist helping vulnerable children. As he steps back into the darkness, we witness the tension between self-preservation and moral obligation that will drive him throughout this investigation into Los Angeles' most disturbing secrets.
