Evidence
by Jonathan Kellerman

In the half-built skeleton of a monstrously vulgar mansion in one of LA's neighborhoods, a watchman stumbles on the bodies of a young couple murdered and left in a gruesome postmortem embrace.  Though he's cracked some of the city's worst slayings, veteran homicide cop Milo Sturgis is still shocked at the grisly sight: a twisted crime that only Milo's killer instincts-and psychologist Alex Delaware's keen insights-can hope to solve.  While the female victim's identity remains a question mark, her companion is ID'd as eco-friendly architect Desmond Backer, who disdains the sort of grandiose superstructure he's found dead in.  And the late Mr. Backer, it's revealed was also notorious for his power to seduce women.  The rare exception is his ex-boss, Helga Gemein, who's as indifferent to Desmond's death as she apparently was to his advances.  Though Milo and Alex place her on their short list of suspects, the deeper they dig for clues the longer the list grows.  An elusive prince who appears to harbor decidedly American appetites, an eccentric blueblood with an ax to grind, one of Desmond's restless ex-lovers and her cuckolded husband-all are in the homicidal mix spiced with eco-terrorism, arson, blackmail, conspiracy, and a vendetta that runs deep.  But when the investigation veers suddenly in a startling direction, it's the investigators who may wind up on the wrong end of a cornered predator's final fury.

The conspiracy is led by the aristocratic politician Catalina, backed by other, shadowy factions; even Julius Caesar is implicated.  Undeterred, Cicero devotes himself to exposing the treachery, and after a bloody struggle emerges triumphant.  But the gods are pitiless - and the most talented men over-reach themselves.  When the sexually voracious senator and nobleman Clodius is put on trial, accused of entering a sacred women-only religious ritual in pursuit of Caesar's wife, Cicero finds himself embroiled in the case as the reluctant star witness for the prosecution.  He has made many enemies, and as Caesar, Crassus and Pompey grasp political power, he discovers that he has sown the seeds of his own downfall...

Who is he?  What does he want?  Is he a striker?  An anarchist?  A revolutionary determined to displace the "privileged few"?  A criminal mastermind engineering some as yet unexplained scheme?  Whoever he is, whatever his motives, the Wrecker knows how to create maximum havoc, and Bell senses that he is far from done-that, in fact, the Wrecker is building up to a grand act unlike anything he has committed before. If Bell doesn't stop him in time, more than a railroad could be at risk-it could be the future of the entire country.
