Synopsis

At his best, Delaware combines the shrewd detective powers of Sherlock Holmes with a modern Freudian-flavored liberal conscience. His tireless efforts to understand the inhumanity of the criminal world lead him not to inhuman monsters, but to the painful, disarmingly simple tragedies that can turn innocent children into sociopaths. In the same way that Patricia Cornwell uses a smattering of forensic pathology to transform a butchered corpse into sculpture that reveals its secrets slowly, Kellerman's Delaware finds intriguing insights in the twitches, tics and character flaws of those affected by crime. In Kellerman's hands, a crime is not merely a portrait of the criminal who committed it but a reflection of the socializing influences that shape a criminal's life.
