Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:#1 New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman heralds the arrival of his thrilling new stand-alone novel, The Murderer??s Daughter, with this eBook original prequel short story??a powerful portrait of a young man seeking his destiny, who will ultimately play a key role in the life of an unforgettable new Kellerman heroine.
 
It??s the summer of 1965, and Malcolm Bluestone, fresh out of Harvard and bound for law school, is taking a break??from the books and Brooklyn??to soak in the sun and sights of California. Free from his doting parents, he??s enjoying a whirlwind tour of his older brother Steve??s glamorous movie-star lifestyle. Yet all the excitement only seems to leave Malcolm feeling haunted by the sheltered, studious life he leads??and trapped by the secure but predictable future that awaits him. It is a future he has the power to change, if he??s brave enough to dare and wise enough, like his brother, to listen to his heart. But it will take a shocking incident on a movie set to finally spur Malcolm to action??and free him to walk the path he knows he was meant to.

This is just a snippet of a story, and I have a feeling it'll be one of those short stories that is better once you've read the main series. However, it is well done. Even if his name wasn't taking up a third of the cover, this is very recognisable as JK's work. The only concern I had was: another psychologist? With an awfully similar sounding backstory? But I guess this is supposed to be a sidekick instead of the new main character for the new series, so it might not feel too repetitive once the main story kicks in.
