Critical Conditions: An Alan Gregory Thriller White, Stephen
Signet 1999 0-451-19170-6 / 9780451191700 Softcover Good
From Library Journal In his sixth suspense novel, White (Remote Control, LJ 1/97) and his protagonist psychologist Alan Gregory take on managed healthcare and come up with another compulsive read. A 15-year-old girl attempts suicide and turns mute, her two-year-old sister is dying from a rare disease while her health insurer won't pay for expensive experimental treatment, and the doctor who heads the insurance company is found shot to death. While Gregory treats the teenager and consults with police, his cop friend Sam Purdy (an in-law of principals in the case) has to keep his distance, and complications mount. White ties up all the loose ends, concerning death threats, blackmail, murder, extortion, and suicide, after a spine-tingling chase through the conveyor system of the new Denver airport. But he leaves strings dangling regarding his appealing cast of continuing characters (such as Gregory's wife Lauren's health and neighbor Adrienne's love life), guaranteeing anticipation for number seven. -?Michele Leber, Fairfax Cty. P.L., Va. Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Booklist When Boulder, Colorado, psychologist Alan Gregory is asked to come to a hospital emergency room to consult on a puzzling case of attempted suicide by a 15-year-old girl, he finds a teen with more than her fair share of problems. Merritt Strait's mom is a TV investigative reporter; her stepdad is a psychologist handling custody evaluations; and their toddler daughter Chaney--Merritt's half-sister--has a heart problem that only an experimental procedure can remedy, but their managed care company, MedExcel, won't pay for it. Merritt is mute when Gregory begins to talk with her in the hospital; the discovery of the dead body of the head of MedExcel--and of bloody clothes and a gun in and around Merritt's room--suggests she may have a good reason for silence. Gregory proceeds patiently with the stalwart teen and more aggressively with various adults with the help of his police detective pal Sam Purdy. Given White's solid reputation and lively debate about the controversial issues animating his Alan Gregory thrillers, expect reader interest. Mary Carroll --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The Best Revenge White, Stephen
United Kingdom, 03 July 2003 Little, Brown Book Group 2003 0-316-85999-0 / 9780316859998 Softcover Good
Review Texta scribble to ffep, pos stamp to ffep. 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 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.
