Line Of Fire

New York Times bestselling author Stephen White returns with a gripping thriller about the one
devastating secret that could cost Alan Gregory everything-the first of the dramatic two-part
conclusion to his acclaimed bestselling series.

Alan Gregory is finally beginning to feel settled, hopeful that a long period of upheaval
in his private life is behind him. He refocuses his energy on his clinical psychology
practice, where a beguiling new patient is challenging his values. The interlude of calm
doesn't last, of course: Alan's dear friend Diane is showing signs of a long-simmering
emotional collapse, and Alan's greatest fear-the exposure of his most dangerous
secret-has become something he can't ignore.

A new witness has surfaced, causing authorities to reopen their investigation
into the suicide death of a woman named J. Winter Brown. When Alan and his equally
culpable friend Sam Purdy inadvertently disclose details of their involvement in her
death to a desperate drug dealer, any confidence they felt about riding out the new
investigation evaporates. The trail that leads back to Alan and Sam, once cold, has
turned white-hot.

With his vulnerability mounting daily, Alan begins to fear that his mesmerizing
new patient may be the catalyst that can cause everything he treasures-his marriage,
family, friendship, and future-to implode. As the authorities close in, the story hurtles
toward a conclusion that will set the stage for the most unexpected of outcomes: the
final act of the Alan Gregory saga.
