Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. Contemporary cerebral thrillers don't get much better than bestseller White's 15th novel (after Kill Me), which deftly combines complex characterization and intricate plotting. White's debut novel, Privileged Information, introduced Boulder, Colo., psychologist Alan Gregory and the clever but deadly Michael McClelland, a former meteorologist turned killer, whose rampage almost cost Gregory and his wife, Lauren, their lives. In this sequel, while Lauren, a local prosecutor, is absorbed in a sensitive grand jury probe that represents her best chance to demonstrate that she can function despite her MS, Gregory learns that McClelland has escaped from custody and has devised a devious, multilayered revenge scheme against everyone he holds responsible for his incarceration. Almost overnight, Gregory finds his routine existence turned into a Hitchcockian nightmare. Suspected of several murders, he can trust no one. Both established fans and those just now discovering the author's gifts will be turning pages late into the night. (Mar.)

From AudioFile

Colorado psychologist Alan Gregory is forced to deal with old secrets and a dangerous former patient. Gregory's life unravels when he becomes the main suspect in a murder case at the same time that his ex-patient, killer Michael McClelland, escapes from the state mental institution. Gregory's wife, a Boulder prosecutor, struggles to perform in a sensitive grand jury case despite her increasing battle with MS. In a strong performance of the main character, Dick Hill portrays Gregory's worry as he wrestles with his many demons--fear of his wife's progressing disease, uncertainty about his deep friendship with a local cop, panic at being tapped for murder, and even questions about his own mental stability.

3.0 out of 5 stars Does our shrink need a shrink?, Aug 24 2008
By 5th Sparrow (Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dry Ice (Mass Market Paperback)
Dry IceThere were too many conflicts going on. Can one man, even Alan Gregory, handle all that? Mr. White strayed off the path with Kill Me, I'm not sure he's found his way back with Dry Ice. And the twist at the end with Adrienne and Jonas...but the main story was very captivating and kept me reading all night.

4.0 out of 5 stars WHEN THE PAST CHALLENGES THE PRESENT, Mar 29 2007
By Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Dry Ice (Audio CD)


He's been named a Golden Voice and a Voice of the Century by AudioFile magazine. In addition, Dick Hill is the recipient of three Audie Awards. Need we say more? He's simply one of the topnotch voice artists working today, and he delivers a superb reading of Dry Ice as he assumes the persona of narrator Alan Gregory, clinical psychologist.

Diane Estevez, Gregory's partner of long standing feels it is imperative that they renovate their waiting room. He doesn't agree but hasn't the strength to protest because we hear, "Less than half a year before I'd watched a patient of mine killed on the six o'clock news. That event had shaken me to my core. I knew that my reaction to his death - emotional withdrawal mostly, my downhill slide lubricated with too much ETOH - was upsetting the equilibrium in my marriage. Controlling my decline felt beyond me. The timing wasn't ideal. My wife's MS, always a worry, was in a precarious phase. She and I each needed caretaking. Neither of us was in great shape to give it."

Actually, he needs a great deal more than caretaking - he needs protection because murderer Michael McClelland, whom we first met in Privileged Information, is out of the Colorado State Mental Hospital and on his way to Boulder to get Gregory's family. McClelland once almost cost Gregory and his wife, Lauren, their lives and it seems that he's about to rectify that oversight. Many will remember that McClelland is not only a killer but he's a highly intelligent one. It'll take every resource Gregory has to outsmart him, and right now Gregory is resource poor.

To compound matters Lauren, a deputy DA, is currently involved in a case of great import to her. A witness disappears and that witness's purse is found in Gregory's office.

This is White's 15th novel, and it's a corker as he blends suspense and psychological drama in a compelling tale that resurrects the past to challenge the present.
