"An Alex Delaware thriller When Eldon Mate, medical bureaucrat turned self-proclaimed mercy killer is the victim of a grisly Hollywood Hills slaying - hooked up to the macabre \"Humanitron\" with which he has despatched dozens of people - veteran LA cop Milo Sturgis is assigned to the case. Baffled, Milo consults his friend, psychologist Alex Delaware, who realises quickly that lack of suspects is not the problem - there are many who might wish the controversial Mate dead: those whose beliefs cause them to see the \"Angel of Death\" as the devil incarnate, a disgruntled relative of one of Mate's \"travellers\" or, as a shadowy FBI agent suggests, even a homicidal psychopath. Furthermore, Mate's lawyer has disappeared and the death doctor's mentally unstable son has been hanging around."@en . . . . . "Psychological fiction"@en . "Doctor death"@en . .
