Publisher Description
After the shocking developments in Dry Ice, Colorado psychologist Alan Gregory is struggling to deal with his newly adopted son and repair his shaky, though generally improving, marriage. But then Alan’s ex-wife, Merideth, reappears, seeking help she feels only Alan can give. Suddenly Alan is pulled into a mystery that reaches back years to a camping trip at the Grand Canyon involving Merideth’s fiancé and five friends whose lives were changed forever when a young woman mysteriously vanished from the Canyon floor. Enlisting the help of friend and detective Sam Purdy, Alan finds himself pitted against new demons and unseen enemies as he tries to uncover the connection between the unexplained disappearance at the Grand Canyon and Merideth’s missing surrogate. The clock is ticking, and as Alan’s and Sam’s investigations take them from New York City to Los Angeles to the cavernous reaches of the Canyon itself, Alan unearths a series of secrets and deceptions that someone wishes to keep buried at all costs.

"This book was a little confusing at first, switching first-person narrators and times from past to present, but when the reader becomes accustomed to it, the book provides a suspenseful read, ranging in setting from Boulder to New York City to Los Angeles to the Grand Canyon and even a little bit in the Netherlands. Interesting read."

" A good one by White. I really enjoyed this one. Meeting Chloe was worth the read!!! I'll never hear a GPS the same way again! "

" Another great mystery outing with psychologist Dr. Alan Gregory. Stephen White is among the best genre authors when it comes to character development AND plot tension. "
— Laura, 12/5/2013 -
" This was my second Stephen White book and just let me say that I was definately more pleased with it than with "Dry Ice". The story line is definately what carried it though. "
— Candace, 11/24/2013 -
" Your basic mystery series, but Stephen White writing about Alan Gregory and friends is better than most. Characters are very real to me, I'm always happy to be back with them. Stories are smart and I always want to visit Boulder (in the spring or summer) when I read these books. "
— Susan, 8/4/2013 -
" Alan Gregory is a little too neurotic. He seems depressed. I have read a couple of these books. I always worry Sam Purdy is going to stroke out ( think: Kellermans gay, police officer, best friend). I am not reading anymore of these. "
— Michelle, 7/20/2013 -
" Always fun to spend time with Alan Gregory and Sam Purdy. This one in Grand Canyon, New York, LA, and back to Boulder! "

" Not as good as his others. "
— Ellen, 11/12/2012 -
" My favorite author even though I'm a big King fan. His characters are like old friends and this one has the usual mystery and misdirection typical of Alan Gregory novels. "
— B, 11/1/2012 -
" I love Stephen White's books. I discovered him at a local bookstore in Boulder Colorado when I was visiting there (if you ever get to Boulder - check out High Crimes Mystery Bookshop on Pearl Street.) "

" I read these books for the ongoing/continuing characters and their development. "

" a fun easy summer read! "
— Chara, 7/6/2012 -
" Enjoy this author. His characters have their faults which makes a change. A series with Dr Alan Gregory as the main character, better to be read in order if possible. "
— Jane, 2/8/2012 -
" White never disappoints. Always a fun read. "
— Kristen, 12/18/2011 -
" A bit of soap opera, a bit of Kellerman-like pyschological insights into suspects, & a mystery down the Grand Canyon make this a interesting read.. "
— Steve, 5/30/2011 -
" I had to laugh at the end when Alan asks Sam to pick up some things from Trader Joe's for him... "
— Charis, 3/12/2011 -
