An unusual plot makes this one of the more interesting Alan Gregory novels. There are plenty of twists and turns as the story progresses. This is my favorite of Stephen White's novels to date. I've not read them all, or in order, but I am trying to finished the series in the order written.
This is another in the fine Alan Gregory series. Alan's wife, DA Lauren Gregory, is arrested for a shooting on in a Boulder blizzard. The facts are few and the questions are many. This is another good one.
