FR> How does Delaware get "involved" in the investigation then?
 
In each case there is a disturbed or traumatized child involved. 
Delaware is asked to consult due to his expertise with such children.  
As he deals with the child, a bigger story unfolds and he finds 
questions he wants answered.  He is usually helped out by his friend 
Milo, a large, unattractive, gay cop whose lover is a wealthy doctor
 
By the way, Jonathan Kellerman's wife is also an author.  I find her 
books can be quite gory compared to Jonathan's, but alos very good 
mystery novels.
