Psychologist Alan Gregory is on the verge of a midlife crisis. As he ponders his effectiveness as a therapist, he takes on an interesting new patient: Tom Clone, a former death row inmate who was recently exonerated based on DNA evidence. Unbeknownst to Alan, Tom Clone was referred to him by another of his patients Kendra James, the troubled FBI agent who found the evidence which overturned Clone's conviction.

Tom Clone's transition back to civilian life is made difficult by those who do not believe he is innocent. Tom and Kendra grow cautiously closer, but hidden secrets from Kendra's past come out and ultimately endanger the lives of Tom and Alan.

Although Alan, Sam and Lauren do not figure as prominently in this book as in some of the others in the series, The Best Revenge is in my opinion one of the best entries. The character of Kendra is particularly well developed, and the plot takes a number of unexpected twists and turns. This would be a good book to start with for those new to Stephen White.
