Jonathan Kellerman is the author of numerous psychological mysteries, a dozen of which feature the child psychologist, Alex Delaware. Delaware serves as an alter ego for Kellerman who was a respected clinician and professor for over a decade before becoming a full-time writer. Author of popular and chilling books such as When the Bough Breaks, Over the Edge, The Butcher's Theater, Devil's Waltz, Self-Defense, The Clinic, and Monster, Kellerman knows how to build excitement to produce edge-of-your-seat suspense. Because of his training as a psychologist, he understands exactly why readers want to be scared. "We want fear," Kellerman told Catherine M. Nelson in an interview for Armchair Detective, "but we want the resolution. You build up tension and then there's a relief. If there is no resolution, people wouldn't want it. It's like tying a knot around your knee, then it feels so wonderful when you take it off. I know how to create fear, because I'm a coward.
