Publisher Description

Take a character as multi-dimensional as Tony Soprano. Pair him with a mother and daughter in peril and on the run. Add a clinical psychologist tasked with helping them negotiate their new lives - a program with an agenda all its own - and the result is a book that Stephen White's peers are already calling "one of the best thrillers you will ever read" (William Bernhardt) and "an exciting ride through a dark region of law enforcement." (Peter Abrahams). When New Orleans District Attorney Kirsten Lord and her nine-year-old daughter are imperiled by a chillingly believable death threat, Lord has no other choice but to accept the Witness Protection Program's offer to hide them in Boulder, Colorado. There, they meet program veteran Carl Luppo, a solitary mob hit man who is tormented by his former life and has nothing but time for regret. Sensing that Lord and her daughter's safety has been compromised, Luppo takes on the role of sentinel, fully realizing this might be his last shot at redemption. While Lord suspects that Luppo's warnings about the program's dark side are for her own protection and that she should believe the former assassin's instincts, the only person she can really trust is nine-years-old.

"My first 5 star rating. I really enjoyed this book. I understand one of the main characters has a recurring role in the author's next book I am reading. The character is Dr. Alan Gregory and the book is "Warning Signs.' I hope it is as good as "The Program.""

    " Alan Gregory is counseling people in the witness protection program, only what if one needs protection from the marshals running the program. This story is more about the protectee, Kristin, then Dr. Gregory. Not his best but still entertaining and engaging. "

    " I have probably read every book written by Stephen White. They are good 'PLANE' or 'BEACH' books. This is one of my favorites and I actually read it twice because I was missing having new Stephen White books. "

    " While I have read a number of Stephen White's books I find his character Alan Gregory a little whiny and not real likeable. I did enjoy this book because it was from the perspective of one of his clients. It was suspenseful and exciting until the end. "

    " Started off a bit messy in the beginning, and didn't manage to really grasp my full attention later on. It's a nice story, nevertheless, and you can feel the main characters greatest emotions.The plot, I thought, was pretty silly however. "
