Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

Tom Clone's stay on death row is over, thanks to new evidence uncovered by Kelda James, a young FBI agent whose efforts on Clone's behalf have not exactly endeared her to her colleagues. Referred by that same agent to psychologist Alan Gregory, Clone is struggling to adapt to life outside prison. But others who believe he got off on a technicality don't agree that the former medical student deserves his freedom, and they will go to any lengths to make sure he's punished accordingly for the crime of which he was once accused. There are some surprising plot twists here, but more interesting is Gregory's midlife crisis and his declining interest in his work: as his partner responds when he voices doubts about his efficacy as a therapist, "Those are the bricks we lay. If you've started hating the bricks, maybe it's time to reconsider being a brick layer." Certainly Gregory gets himself into more sinister and frightening scrapes than most shrinks, and this is one of his strangest cases. The Best Revenge is a solid, well-reasoned thriller, set in the marvelously drawn Colorado landscape the author has made his own, with guest appearances by minor figures familiar to readers of this increasingly popular psychological suspense series. --Jane Adams --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.


From Library Journal

New evidence proves that Tom Clone did not commit murder, but after 13 years in prison, he has developed dark tendencies that psychologist Alan Gregory may not be able to conquer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended thriller, Feb 29 2004
By Larry Gandle (Tampa, Florida) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Best Revenge (Hardcover)
FBI special agent Kelda James is considered by many a hero after rescuing a kidnapped girl. She has now volunteered to pick up and deliver from prison a man who was condemned to death and not only taken off death row but freed after information obtained by Kelda that appears to exonerate him. The man, Tom Clone, has served seven years for a crime he apparently didn't commit. He needs counciling and Kelda refers him to her own analyst, Psychologist Alan Gregory. Alan soon determines that the connection between Kelda and tom is much more than it seems. All becomes divulges through several twists of the very compelling plot.
Stephen White is a much heralded thriller writer. His main protagonist is Alan Gregory, a psychologist like himself. What is most impressive about this writer is his ability to delve into characters without sacrificing the plot or pacing. He actually reminds me of Lawrence Block with his Scutter books. White is that good. The plot is clever. It is well paced and the surprises in store appear to be well thought out. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, enthralling, and perfect for long drives. (Audio), Jan 28 2004
This review is from: The Best Revenge (Audio Cassette)
This was my first experience with Stephen White and it was an enjoyable one. There are many plot twists and this mystery thriller was a fun adventure. It made me enjoy the drive and rant and rave aloud about some of the characters' choices.

The story weaves around an FBI agent female who is responsible for getting a death row inmate out, a shrink who is professionally involved with both the agent and ex-inmate, and a cast of characters that add confusion, passion, and bizarre motivations and twists into the plot.

You'll be surprized at the end, but the story will definately keep you interested. I have not read this author before and give it a four star only because I think the motivation for the murder was a weak one and that the ending could have come earlier...but it still was/is a fun and interesting story.

1.0 out of 5 stars What Did I Do To Deserve This?, Dec 14 2003
By Stephen F. Abney (SAN FRANCISCO, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Best Revenge (Mass Market Paperback)
Starts strong with some good hooks that catch the reader's interest. Slows as characters develop and information added in second section. In the third section, the story suddenly careens from a plausible, psychological thriller to bizarre and unbelievable potboiler. For example, the heroine Kelda James, FBI special agent, commits acts that are illegal and sadistic and totally out of character. Why? Don't ask. Motivation for all the main characters is thin and contrieved. Strangely, the author is a psychologist in real life and you would think that this would be his strong suit. For example, the motivation for the main murder in the story is revealed in a throw-away line. The killer is said to have met his victim in a bar and she disrespected him and several days later he tracked her down and slit her throat. Now the killer is not a psychotic, not a serial murderer, hardly knows the victim, and presumably is not umder the influence of drugs/alcohol at the time of the murder, yet this is the pivotal event in the book and it is a completely random and incongruous act. This is some very weak plotting. The entire 2nd half of the novel is disappointing and I personally regretted the time and energy spent in completing the read.

Great read, very enjoyable. Getting four instead of five stars because the loose threads were wrapped up in a rather silly way.
