The Broken Branch, Jonathan Kellerman, Frédéric Grellier

A psychiatrist and his wife have been murdered. The only witness to the murder is seven-year-old Melody Quinn. Deeply traumatized, she has stopped speaking. Detective Milo Sturgis calls on his friend, the renowned child psychologist Alex Delaware. Can he help the little girl testify, even if it means resorting to hypnosis?

A gripping thriller that marks the debut of the formidable duo, Alex Delaware and Milo Sturgis.

A psychologist specializing in childhood problems, Jonathan Kellerman made a notable entry into literature with When the Bough Breaks (1985), which received the Edgar Award for Best Novel. Alongside Michael Connelly, he is one of the leading figures in American crime fiction.

“A complete literary success.”
