Savich and Sherlock discover that four of Lily's paintings, left to her by their very famous grandmother, artist Sarah Elliot, now worth millions, are at the heart of an intricate conspiracy. Lily and art broker Simon Russo are thrust into ever-widening circles of danger that radiate from a notorious collector's locked room. Dillon and his sister Lily both have to face their worst fears to survive.

"I didn't like or understand the Ghouls, so I'd have to say that was the one element of the book that really turned me off and distracted from the primary plot. Lily's a very independant character and I liked that. For once Savich and Sherlock were actually a bigger part of the story again. One of the better ones of the series so far if you don't count the entire Ghoul mess."

" Kind of strange with the detour to Sweden, but it made the store make more sense at the end. Good series for adventure and mystery. "
— Annette, 2/15/2014" I had read The Cove and The Maze and picked this book up to take on vacation. Imagine my surprise when I realized this was the 6th book of the FBI series. Needless to say I enjoyed it so much I went back and located #3, #4, and #5. "
— Denise, 2/11/2014" This book finally really involves the two main characters in this FBI series. The storyline is good but there's too much going on. The main premise of the sister and the art forgery is terrific. Of the two secondary storylines that sort of, but not really, have something to do with the main storyline the religous cult deaths could have been left out all together. The other secondary storyline is way out there and quite off the wall and probably should have been a complete novel all by itself. All that said, I did like reading this book. "
— Patricia, 2/1/2014" meh. Not her best effort. Needed more editing... "
— Margaret, 1/31/2014" The story line was really good, there was just something about the way the characters interacted that put me off. I also wasn't entirely sure what the point of 'the Ghouls' were. Maybe I missed the explanation somewhere. I loved all the books in this series up to this point, but I think this one was a major let down. "
— Melissa, 1/29/2014" The sixth in the Catherine Coulter FBI series holds true to her story line and character formula. It was entertaining and had some interesting twists. For those who like her books, you won't be disappointed in getting lost in another mystery crime thriller. Patrick - award winning author, Lessons in the Journey "
— Patrick, 1/21/2014" This book is one of my favorites in the series so far. Yeah the "ghouls" weren't easy to understand but do you have to have an explanation for everything? Having Savich be the only one to see them on the "team" I thought was a good idea. Can't wait to start on the next one in the series. "
— Jackie, 1/15/2014" Ok, so I can't resist an FBI thriller... "
— Eileen, 1/7/2014" This is one of my favorite books in Coulter's FBI series! This was a real page-turner!! =) "
— Tanya, 1/6/2014" This book was better than the past few I've read that are a part of the FBI series. I liked all the characters. The only thing I wasn't crazy about is how the plot jumps around. Overall it's a quick easy read "
— Rebecca, 9/27/2013" Two totally separate plots keep Dillon on edge. A psychopath is killing young boys (paranormal activity involved) one the east coast and someone is trying to kill his sister on the west coast. "
— Joyce, 8/17/2013" Liking some of Catherine Coulter's books more than others, not a new thing to avid readers, I was more than pleasantly surprised by this telling of Hemlock Bay. The pace was excellent and the characters stayed true to the past storyline as well as to themselves. "
— Arnold, 6/10/2013" Husband/wife FBI agents deal w/2 separate mysterious situations "
— Vicki, 5/30/2013" What a good book! I enjoyed the background into the art world. I just love this series! "
— Sam, 4/30/2013" While it was an interesting story line, I did not like her writing style. Over use of the character's names in conversations, it all seemed stilted, or written by a beginning writer. As it was not her first book, I can't give her the benefit of a doubt. Don't think I'll read another by her. "
— Susan, 9/8/2012" I love this author. This isn't my favorite of this series, but it's fun nonetheless. "
— Mandy, 8/24/2012" not one of my favorites, but then I prefer the historicals. "
— Lesley, 2/23/2012" Another tale featuring Lacey Sherlock and Dillon Savich...this time they stop the attempts on the life of Savich's sister, stop an art theft ring, and end a reign of terror of a female one-armed serial killer "
— Mark, 12/5/2011" Very good. I liked the part where Savich and Sherlock were being compared to Mulder and Scully. "
— Laura, 5/4/2011" It was a good mystery. Easy to read and enjoyable. "
— Sue, 12/28/2010" This book was pretty good and interesting, but there was NO SEX. What the hell kind of smut novel has no sex? Also, the book had two distinctive plot lines that never connected. It was like two separate stories, neither lengthy enough for its own book. Not great. "
— Lindsay, 11/24/2010" listed to as an audiobook - really liked it "
— Higginbot, 10/2/2010" I like Coulters FBI series, but this one was realllly out there. I had a hard time grasping the majic trick premise here. "
— Miss, 9/17/2010" It was my first thriller. I was sucked in from the get go and it never lets you go until the last page "
— Andrea, 7/27/2010" I liked the story overall. It was very busy, with a few different plots. Not sure that all of it was necessary. I would have liked for there to be more resolution or information about the Ghouls and supernatural activity, since it played into the story line so much. "
— Jeannie, 3/9/2010" This book was weird. Good, but strange. Who are these Ghouls that get all stirred up and kill folks, anyway? Or, what are they? Tammy Tuttle reminds me of the psycho female killer in the Konrath books, Alex Kork, who is pure evil. "
— Cheryl, 12/28/2009" Very Good; Continuing characters: FBI agents Savich and Sherlock; Savich's sister appears to be the target of her husband and his family to have her commited or die so they can take over her art collection; at the same they are chasing after killers who <br/> "
— Joe, 8/28/2009" Somebody snap me out of my coma. The overall story line was promising but the interaction between the characters was very weird. I wondered if they were just page fillers. I could not wait to finish it and only did so because I wanted to know how it ended. "
— Deborah, 4/17/2009" If you like Patricia Cornwell books and the Alex Cross series by James Patterson than you've probably heard of Catherine Coulter. This is the third mystery I've read and they're all terrific! "
