| Plot Summary of Privileged Information |
|---|
"The first in the series featuring Boulder,Colorado psychologist Alan Gregory. His patients are dying; he's accused of malpractise. He's recently separated from his wife and is interested in local assistant DA Lauren Crowder. This is a first-rate series, where the lead is often taken by other characters introduced in this first book. Each successive title is better than the one before. Refreshing, intelligent and well-plotted. Highly recommended."
Charlotte Vale Allen, Resident Scholar
