Brilliant psychologist and police consultant Dr. Alex Delaware has dealt with more than his share of psycopaths. And at first glance, the sophisticated and successful physician Constance Sykes isn't one of them. But after becoming embroiled in a bizarre child custody dispute involving Connie and her sister, he fears he's made an error in judgment that could have critical consequences. As the court battle between the two women erupts into cold, calculating murder with a rising body count, Alex finds himself snared in a toxic web of the ugly spectacle known as Sykes v. Sykes. But when the little girl at the center of the vicious dispute disappears, he must join forces with longtime friend Detective Milo Sturgis to brave an obstacle course of Hollywood washouts, gang members, self-serving jurists, and cunning predators in order to save an innocent life.
