VJ Books presents Stephen White!

Stephen White began his first novel in 1989 while he was still practicing full time. The book, a mystery/thriller called Privileged Information (1991), features Boulder, Colorado psychologist Alan Gregory and explores the dilemmas faced by a psychologist who fears that one of his patients is a killer who is likely to strike again. The great success of the first book was followed by Private Practices (1992), and High Authority (1994), a third-person novel that moved Dr. Gregory into a supporting role for the first time. Next came White's first New York Times bestsellers, Harm’s Way (1996), and Remote Control (1997), another third-person thriller, this one exploring the insidious effects of the cult of celebrity.
 
Critical Conditions (1998) followed, based on White's feelings about his professional experiences dealing with managed health care, and then Manner of Death (1999), a look back at Dr. Alan Gregory's earlier professional life an attempt at answering the question "Whatever happened to D. B. Cooper?"
 
White released Cold Case (2000), the eighth book in the series, in which Alan is asked to assist a private crime fighting organization. This was followed by The Program (2001), which introduced a new character to Boulder — Kirsten Lord. His tenth novel, Warning Signs (2002), was another in this bestselling series. Stephen's 2003 novel, The Best Revenge asks the question, what price do we pay for keeping secrets — even from ourselves?
 
Stephen's novel Blinded as number 12 in the series and was published in February 2004. His 13th Alan Gregory novel, Missing Persons, was released in 2005.  A complete book list of White's novels appear at the end of this page.
