Reviews
Emma Spires finds herself a favorite of the American public when her father, the surgeon general of the U.S., is assassinated. The adulation, however, proves a burden. After a stint living the high life in Hollywood, where she has a much publicized and unfortunate love affair with a famous actor, Emma moves to Boulder, Colorado, and interns at the state's attorney's office. Her boss there is Lauren Crowder, the wife of Dr. Alan Gregory, a recurring character in White's novels. Lauren, impressed by Emma's fame yet aware of its downside, befriends the troubled celebrity. Emma's problems escalate when she discovers that the wild night she spent with a technological genius has been recorded (using a new system developed by the genius) and is about to be leaked to the public. Alan's fears that Lauren may be getting too close to Emma are realized when she calls him from the police station, where she is being questioned in a shooting outside Emma's home. White delivers an offbeat, futuristic story with both realistic characters and surrealistic elements. Although Alan Gregory plays a minor role here, the success of White's previous Gregory novels will help create demand for this one. Mary Frances Wilkens
In his fifth Alan Gregory novel (following Harms Way, LJ 2/1/95), White unwinds a tightly constructed thriller involving attempted murder, high technology, and politics. Psychologist and amateur sleuth Gregory here plays a supporting role to his new wife, Deputy D.A. Lauren Crowder, who's charged with shooting a man to protect her law intern, Emma Spire. At the center of the story is Emma, a media darling for her courage years earlier when her surgeon general father was assassinated for his freedom-of-choice views and died in her arms. Desperately trying to protect her privacy, Emma finds herself vulnerable to unimaginable violation after becoming romantically involved with high-tech wizard Ethan Han, and she turns to Lauren and Alan for help. White shows sensitivity in his characterizations, in dealing with Lauren's multiple sclerosis, and in giving a D.A.'s view of what an arrested person endures. He has another top-notch page-turner here.?Michele Leber, Fairfax Cty. P. L., Va.
