Book Description:
Sometimes the warning signs come too late...

The brutal slaying of Boulder's controversial D.A. strikes deep in the heart of everything clinical psychologist Alan Gregory holds dear: After all, Alan's wife, Lauren, worked for the dead man.

When a new patient walks into Alan's office--a terrified mother with an explosive secret--he finds himself edging even closer to the darkness. Soon her privileged exchanges convince Alan that a crime is about to be committed. And when he uncovers a shocking link to the D.A.'s slaying, Alan is suddenly locked in the ethical dilemma of his career, thrust into a desperate manhunt for a killer whose identity no one could have guessed.

As the minutes tick down, Warning Signs explodes into a gripping story of crime and punishment, tragedy and retribution--and of human beings caught in the shattering cross fire of forces beyond their control...forces sometimes within themselves.

Probably the best of the Alan Gregory series. Couldn't put it down.

I have enjoyed all of Stephen White's books, but some more than others. Cold Case left me mostly cold, and though The Program was a great thriller I missed Alan Gregory and his wife Lauren. Warning Signs is a welcome return to the style of the earlier books in the Alan Gregory series.

The politically-savvy district attorney is found beaten to death, and Sam Purdy's partner Lucy is a suspect. Though the physical evidence makes a strong case that she is guilty, Sam works unofficially to prove that she is not. Meanwhile, Alan has a new patient with an alarming tale to tell. As he learns more, Alan suspects that her patient's story may be related to the murder that Sam is investigating. However, (as usual), Alan is torn between his professional oath of confidentiality and taking action to protect the innocent.

Parts of the story are far fetched, but White keeps up the suspense and there are a few surprising twists in the story. Reading a book about Alan and Lauren is like visiting a couple of old friends... though friends better kept at a distance since those close to them seem to wind up dead a lot! This book is a must for any fan of the series.

This is a great book, I page turner. This book was one that if I sat it down to go and do something, all i could think about was what was coming next. An amazing read.

I enjoy Stephen White but have found the plot of at least one of his books to be "over the top". This one was a really enjoyable, good read.

Sometimes the warning signs come too late...An edge-of-your-seat thriller. As the minutes tick down, Warnng Sings explodes into a gripping story of crime and punishment, tragedy and retribution---and of human beings caught in the shattering cross fire of forces beyond their control...forces sometimes within themselves.

Stephen White's mysteries always have interesting twists. If you're familiar with Boulder, Colorado, they're always even more interesting!
