Synopsis

Dr. Alan Gregory is a practicing psychologist with a few little problems to work through. He has an office filled with bloody corpses. He has a teenage patient who may be a sad victim or a savage killer. He has a beautiful estranged wife who wants him back in the worst way, and a lovely lover doing her best to keep him. He has a cop who wants him off the case, and an unknown enemy who wants him permanently out of action. To round out his many dilemmas, the list of suspects reads like a Who's Who of his posh Colorado community. And as a Rocky Mountain winter wonderland is swept by a nightmare blizzard of evil, secret sins leave a trail of blood leading to their hiding place deep in the heart and mind of a monstrous murderer...

About Stephen White

Stephen White is the New York Times bestselling author of the acclaimed Alan Gregory series, a collection of psychological thrillers that blend gripping suspense with an insider's understanding of the human mind. A clinical psychologist by training, White drew on his professional background to create nuanced, character-driven mysteries that probe both crime and conscience.

From his debut novel Privileged Information to fan favorites like Kill Me, Warning Signs, and Line of Fire, White built a devoted readership over two decades, earning praise for his intricate plotting and moral depth. His novels explore not only the darkness of criminal behavior but also the vulnerabilities and complexities of ordinary people caught in extraordinary circumstances.

Now retired from both writing and psychology, Stephen White leaves behind a legacy of intelligent, emotionally charged thrillers that continue to captivate fans of mystery and suspense.

Maybe it was the narrator - I prefer women to sound like females - not mincy versions of a female impersonator, but more likely it was the lack of plot progression. I just could not get into this book. The protagonist can't seem to decide if he is a psychologist or a detective - and doesn't seem very good in either role. The women are alternatively demanding and whiney - even though they are portrayed as having high responsibility jobs. After two CD's I couldn't take anymore.

Goodreads review by Mary Ronan on July 21, 2011

I read this Stephen White mystery because reviews for the latest book in this series, The Last Lie, were so enticing. I started with this, the second in the series starring Dr Alan Gregory, because the library didn’t have the first. I’m about to remedy that by buying a copy and giving it to the libr......more

This is my first Stephen White novel. I would have been more impressed if I hadn't already read most of Jonathan Kellerman's work. As with Kellerman, White is also a psychologist who has a policeman friend, who is hired by the Boulder Coroner as a consultant, etc., etc. The biggest difference is that......more

This book started off great. Great character development, subtle humor, nice details etc, however the plot was never very clear to me and with about 100 pages left to read, I put it aside not understanding what was going on or where the story was going. The author seems more concerned with describin......more

The 2nd book in psychologist Alan Gregory series by Stephen White. Better than a 3 rating but not quite a 4. I intend to read more of this series and hopefully the characters will continue to develop in what could be a very good series of books. There is plenty going on in the Alan Gregory's life which......more

Goodreads review by Jim on October 21, 2012

This Stephen White has all one could want in a detective mystery. Alan Gregory is a psychologist in Boulder, Colorado. Highly ethical but more so inquisitive and analytical. In a short span of time he has a client murdered by a abusive husband, another blown up in a home explosion, another shot to d......more
