The Ghost Orchid, by Johnathan Kellerman

Cover of The Ghost Orchid, by Johnathan Kellerman.

Psychologist Alex Delaware and Detective Milo Sturgis confront a baffling, vicious double homicide that leads them to long-buried secrets. In an upscale Bel Air property, two lovers are found dead in a swimming pool. The man, Gio Aggiunta, is the playboy heir to an Italian shoe empire, and the woman, Meagin March, is his even wealthier married neighbour. An illicit affair is the perfect motive. But the house is untouched – no forced entry, no forensic evidence. It quickly becomes clear that both victims had troubled pasts. Now Alex and Milo must unravel a trail of deadly secrets. Meanwhile, Alex is asked to evaluate a young man adopted from a Russian orphanage whose parents are divorcing and neither want custody.

This is a quick easy read.
