When you find a book that you look forward to reading each evening, it’s a treasure. This gem by Stephen White is the first in the Dr. Alan Gregory series, of which I’d read one long ago and for some reason got away from.

Thankfully, Privileged Information was gifted to me and brought me back into the fan pool of this series by the best-selling author.

Respected Boulder psychotherapist, Dr. Alan Gregory is accused of provoking the suicide of one of his patients. The Boulder police consider him their prime suspect. As Alan grapples with the charges and re-establishing his good reputation, another patient dies. A car accident. Then another is murdered. No longer believing in coincidences, Alan is determined to uncover who’s behind the leaks to the press, threatening messages, and the three women’s untimely deaths. When a string of strange events hit even closer to home, and those he cares about are threatened, Alan takes matters into his own hands. His illicit investigation confirms his worst suspicions—another client is to blame. Bound to client secrecy, Alan is at a crossroads. Save his career or divulge the privileged information and stop the serial killer.

What’s so special about this book? The writing is stellar and of course, the details of the characters, plot, and setting can only come from one on the inside. They say “write what you know” and as a clinical psychologist residing in Boulder, author Stephen White followed this sage advice. And boy did it pay off.  This New York Times bestselling author inspires all with his incredibly successful multi-faceted career and battle with MS.

Trust me when I say his first book will make you a lover of psychological thrillers from the very first page.
