Publisher Description

Agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock must protect the life of a young political speechwriter in this New York Times bestseller in Catherine Coulter’s FBI Thriller series.

A senior speechwriter for the governor of New York, Becca Matlock is at the top of her professional game when she receives a disturbing phone call that threatens everything: “Stop sleeping with the governor or I’ll kill him.” The thing is, she’s not sleeping with her boss, but that fact doesn’t stop the calls from the man who refers to himself as her “boyfriend.”

When her stalker murders an innocent in New York City and the governor is shot in the neck, Becca comes under suspicion and takes off for the sanctuary of Riptide, an isolated community on the coast of Maine. But she soon finds herself at even greater risk...

FBI special agents Savich and Sherlock are in Riptide to help out an old friend of Savich’s father, and soon become embroiled in Becca’s deadly situation. But as enemies new and old circle closer, time is running out for them all.

"The main character, Becca, is being pursued by someone who calls her and says he is her "boyfriend". Her mother has passed away and she thinks her father died a long time ago, but in fact, he is deep cover - being a super special agent in the international intelligence community. This stalker is a very wealthy ex-Russian intelligence agent who is out to avenge his wife's death at the hands of Becca's father. Or so we think...."

    " Though this is and FBI series written by the author, the books so far are very individual and there's just a placement of the two FBI agents involved from the beginning. This story involves a stalker with murder on his mind and a secondary murder which winds up involving the two main characters. "
