Books in Order: A Comprehensive Guide to Keith Ablow's Novels

Keith Ablow came to fiction with unusual credentials: a neuroscience degree from Brown, an MD from Johns Hopkins, and board certification in both psychiatry and forensic psychiatry. He had already published nonfiction — beginning in 1989 with How to Cope with Depression, co-written with J. Raymond DePaulo — and contributed to outlets from the New York Times to the Washington Post before trying his hand at psychological thrillers. Denial opened his Frank Clevenger series and set the tone for the fiction that followed.

This guide tracks six of his thrillers in publication order, from Denial in 1996 through The Architect in 2005 — a tight decade of suspense from a writer whose day job was studying how minds work and how they break.
