I've always enjoyed this Savich/Sherlock FBI series. The book prior to this one was not that great and I'm disappointed to say this one was only slightly better.
There are 2 plots going on which was great; however, the ending was a letdown. It seemed like the stories were moving along interestingly and then they just ended. I felt like the author was writing away and then all the sudden got tired and stopped.
I'd say the first three-quarters of this book is great...but the last quarter, I'd be stretching to give it 1 star.

My first Coulter book and my last. First chapter was interesting but it went downhill from there. I was so bored!!! I like some romance in my reading and there was 0 romance in this book. The characters were shallow and the storyline silly. But that's my opinion. I read a lot of the reviews and some people love this writer, so different strokes for different folks, I guess. I like Nora Roberts, Carla Neggars, Susan Wiggs, etc. Coulter is totally NOT that type of writer.

I have avidly followed Catherine Coulter's FBI series, and have totally enjoyed it. This book, a relatively new one in the series, did not move as fast as the others. The premise was a little weak but I still enjoyed it.

She woke up to find her hands tied to her chest and her legs locked in wieights just before theyows her into the lake. An expert swimmer, Rachel Abbott, illegitimate daughter of a powerful senator, gets free and goes on the run.

The pilot is FBI Agent Jackson Crowne who was flying his friend psychiatrist Dr Timothy MacLean to Washington, D.C. in order for the agency to protect him from an unknown adversary.

Happily married Savich and Sherlock are sent to learn what happened to Maclean and then hearing her story, take Racheal under their wing.

Catherine Coulter is one of the best authors of exciting thrillers writing today. The several subplots running throughout her novels that eventually tie together is a work of art.

Readers already care about SS, but will also like JR. and his evolving romance with Rachael. Fans of the series will relish the protagonists and their cronies as they struggle to stay alive against cunning professional killers.

Another FBI book from Ms. Coulter. Enter Sherlock and Savich (the married FBI special agents). They agree to help Agent Jack Crowne's new love interest (Rachael) find out who killed her father, after she sees and helps rescue Jack from a plane crash. The story centers around Rachel's deceased father, his disfunctional family and greed. It's a good story, but I was disappointed that the author didn't fully develop the romance between Jack and Rachael. Also, there are many characters in the story. Some of them seem superficial since they aren't developed and too many are thrown at the reader in the beginning of the book. (It's hard to keep them straight!) Despite this, the book was still enjoyable.
