Devils Waltz
by Jonathan Kellerman (9780345460714)

The doctors call it Munchausen by proxy, the&#160;&#160;terrifying disease that causes parents to induce&#160;&#160;illness in their own children. Now, in his most&#160;&#160;frightening case, Dr. Alex Delaware may have to prove&#160;&#160;that a child's own mother or father is making her&#160;&#160;sick.<br><br> Twenty-one-month-old Cassie Jones&#160;&#160;is bright, energetic, the picture of health. Yet&#160;&#160;her parents rush her to the emergency room night&#160;&#160;after night with medical symptoms no doctor can&#160;&#160;explain. Cassie's parents seem sympathetic and&#160;&#160;deeply concerned. Her favorite nurse is a model of&#160;&#160;devotion. Yet when child psychologist Alex&#160;&#160;Delaware is called in to investigate, instinct tells him&#160;&#160;that one of them may be a monster.<br><br> Then&#160;&#160;a physician at the hospital is brutally murdered.&#160;&#160;A shadowy death is revealed. And Alex and his&#160;&#160;friend LAPD detective Milo Sturgis have only hours&#160;&#160;to uncover the link between these shocking events&#160;&#160;and the fate of an innocent child.
