Dry Ice (Alan Gregory Series #15)
by Stephen WhiteWhat does it take to create a killer? Can similarly cruel circumstances give birth to one sinner, and one saint? When Alan Gregory looks in the mirror- and into his past-which reflection does he see? It has been many years since the mayhem was unleashed in Privileged Information. Now Michael McClelland, the brilliant, determined murderer introduced in the first Alan Gregory novel, has left the Colorado State Mental Hospital-and he's coming after Alan's family. The timing couldn't be deadlier; like a wounded animal, Alan is in a deeply vulnerable state, facing severe doubts about his professional life, his marriage, and his own psyche. And McClelland holds the most powerful weapons of all: secrets from Alan's past. Secrets Alan thought he had successfully buried years ago. Secrets not even his wife knows. Time is running out as Alan scrambles to outwit his nemesis while confronting each of his worst nightmares. His becomes a captivating psychological journey into the events that forever change us, and the relentless drumbeat of the past. This searing view into the doctor's heart leaves us with a haunting question: How far will someone go to protect all that they know and love?
