About this title

Synopsis

A decade after the grisly murder of two teenage girls, an organization calling itself Locard - an elite group of prosecutors, federal agents, forensic specialists, and others - is reopening the case. One of its members has just summoned clinical psychologist Alan Gregory to join them. Reconstructing the girls' lives, Alan finds they had been shadowed by secrets. What began as an exercise in psychological detection evolves into a dangerous game of cat and mouse between Gregory and Dr. Raymond Welle, a therapist turned U.S. Congressman with a damning connection to one of the victims. When someone investigating Welle's campaign contributions is killed, Alan steps up his own search for answers. When the facts begin to emerge, the truth is that Gregory may not survive them.

"Stephen White writes thrillers of the first order." (Nelson DeMille)

Reviews

Scott Brick is not among the narrators who attempt to infuse each character with a distinct personality. Instead, he's a natural storyteller, whose intelligence, pacing, and inflection keep you listening avidly. This is a performance meant to be heard in a darkened living room in front of a crackling fire. Best of all, Brick becomes indistinguishable from the mystery's hero, Alan Gregory, the empathetic clinical psychologist who is recruited by a forensic group trying to solve a grisly ten-year-old murder. The case involves the mutilation murders of two teenaged girls in the Colorado countryside, and Gregory's psychological reconstruction of the crime draws him into deadly competition with a congressman whose past keeps intersecting with the crime.
