The Right Thing to Do (Short Story)

#1 New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman heralds the arrival of his thrilling new stand-alone novel, The Murderer's Daughter, with this eBook original prequel short story-a powerful portrait of a young man seeking his destiny, who will ultimately play a key role in the life of an unforgettable new Kellerman heroine.   It's the summer of 1965, and Malcolm Bluestone, fresh out of Harvard and bound for law school, is taking a break-from the books and Brooklyn-to soak in the sun and sights of California.
Free from his doting parents, he's enjoying a whirlwind tour of his older brother Steve's glamorous movie-star lifestyle. Yet all the excitement only seems to leave Malcolm feeling haunted by the sheltered, studious life he leads-and trapped by the secure but predictable future that awaits him. It is a future he has the power to change, if he's brave enough to dare and wise enough, like his brother, to listen to his heart.
But it will take a shocking incident on a movie set to finally spur Malcolm to action-and free him to walk the path he knows he was meant to.   Praise for Jonathan Kellerman and his Alex Delaware mysteries   "Jonathan Kellerman's psychology skills and dark imagination are a potent literary mix."-Los Angeles Times   "A master of the psychological thriller."-People   "Kellerman really knows how to keep those pages turning."-The New York Times Book Review   "The combination of Alex Delaware [and] Detective Milo Sturgis .
