Publisher Description
Dr. Gregory is starting to feel settled, hopeful that a long period of upheaval in his private life is behind him. He refocuses his energy on his clinical psychology practice, where a beguiling new patient captivates him, but the interlude of calm doesn’t last. Devastating fires are threatening Boulder. Alan’s dear friend Diane is showing signs of a long-simmering emotional collapse. And Alan’s most pressing fear — the exposure of a dangerous secret — has become a peril too real to ignore. A new witness has surfaced, causing the police to reopen their investigation into the suicide of a woman named Justine Winter Brown. When Alan and his equally culpable friend, Sam Purdy, inadvertently disclose their involvement in her death to a stranger, any confidence they feel about riding out a renewed investigation evaporates. The trail that leads to Alan and Sam, once cold, has turned white-hot. With his vulnerability mounting daily, Alan suspects that his mesmerizing new patient may be the catalyst that could cause everything he treasures — his marriage, his family, his friendships, and his future — to implode. As flames lick at the city, the story hurtles toward a shocking conclusion that leaves the stage set for a jaw-dropping last act — the upcoming final book in the two-decades-long Alan Gregory saga.

"Requires even more suspension of disbelief than usual. And as usual, once I started it, I couldn't put it down. Dr. White always spins a tale that grabs you by the ears. In this installment, he Inflicts even more catastrophe on his characters. There's a lot of reviewing of previous events, but that's a minor complaint. His description of the wildfires was wonderful. Once again, I will really miss Alan Gregory."
— Roberta (4 out of 5 stars)

" sad it is the last one of the series "

" Not as good as his usual books. Kind of slow and main character seemed to lack emotion. But read it and found the end surprising. "
— Lisa, 2/7/2014 -
" The second to last book in the series. And it gets a 4 star because it is always a kick to read about Boulder, CO and it is a good thriller. Lots happens. "

" As always Mr White delivers a great story. Kind of sad to see that the next book is Alan Gregory's last. Then again glad to see him go out on top. If you have not read any of Mr Whites books start at the beginning Privileged Information. "
— Daniel, 1/27/2014 -
" The last 100 pages were exciting. The rest of the book made me glad that there is only one book left to conclude this series. It's time to put it to bed. "
— Jeanne, 1/23/2014 -
" Spotty and unbelievable plot resolutions ... "
— Catherine, 1/18/2014 -
" Another great read by Stephen White! I will be very sad when this series ends in the next book. So much value-added to the characters since the author is a clinical psychologist! I feel as though the characters are quite real. "
— Diana, 1/12/2014 -
" This was a real shocker! "
— Lynn, 1/4/2014 -
" 19 of 20. glad bout over. "
— Gina, 12/30/2013 -
" I've been reading this series since it started several years ago. White's thrillers are much less formulaic and predictable than others on the NYT Bestseller's list. "
— Fawn, 12/13/2013 -
" Want to read the entire series. "
— Edana, 12/2/2013 -
" I always want to read Stephen White books because he writes about where I know. He should be done with Alex, the psychiatrist. "
— Joey, 9/27/2013 -
" looks like this series is comming to an end. the wild fires were real. i live here. deleware needs a change of scenery. maybe south america. ecuador? "
— Hrn1947, 9/18/2013 -
" The author is wrapping up the series with Alan Gregory. This is the second-to-the-last book. I thought it was well written, but pretty grim. "
— Alice, 7/26/2013 -
" Good first part to the end of the Alan Gregory series. It will be missed. "
— Robin, 5/31/2013 -
" Maybe I'm getting jaded, but you'd think if the shrink and the cop kept getting into all these crazy situations, one of them might think that the relationship was toxic. I suppose it is a good thing the writer has just one book remaining for these characters. "
— Lori, 4/18/2013 -
" I enjoyed reading this because of the topical subject - Colorado wildfires - but the actually plot was quite weak. "
— Lillian, 2/1/2013 -
" Book was okay, not his best work. Was hoping for more thrill and suspense. "
— Christine, 1/31/2013 -
" I read White's novels for several reasons. I find the practice of psychology interesting. I find Boulder interesting. I find the plots of the novels interesting. But I don't feel much affinity for any of the core characters, with the exception Sam Purdy. "
— Scout, 12/20/2012 -
" wow! what starts as a dilemma for our hero Alan and his friend Sam of a secret they wished remained buried becomes a thrill ride where everything moves inexorably to its conclusion "
— Sue, 12/9/2012 -
" This penultimate entry in the series about clinical psychologist Alan Gregoy and his cop friend and DA wife was a bit too predictable in some places and not very logical in others; the ending almost came out of the blue and seemed contrived to me; not White's best outing. "
— Agatha, 11/16/2012
