Publisher Description

Praise for the FBI Thriller Series “Bestseller Coulter’s riveting thriller opens with a bang. . . . Well-developed characters and an expertly paced plot that builds into a breathtaking conclusion.” —Publishers Weekly on Knockout (starred review) A serial killer is on the loose, and it’s up to FBI agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock to bring him down. They soon discover the killer has blood ties to an infamous and now long-dead monster. Savich and Sherlock are joined by agents Lucy Carlyle and Cooper McKnight, and the chase is on. At the same time, Agent Lucy Carlyle learns from her dying father that her grandfather didn’t simply walk away from his family twenty-two years ago: he was, in fact, murdered by his wife, Lucy’s grandmother. Determined to uncover the truth, Lucy moves into her grandmother’s Chevy Chase mansion. What she finds, however, is a nightmare. Not only does she discover the truth of what happened all those years ago, but she faces a new mystery, one that has been passed down from mother to daughter for generations. As the hunt for the killer escalates, Savich realizes he’s become the killer’s focus, and perhaps the next victim. Only Lucy can stop this madness before it’s too late.

"Good addition to the series. Loved the continuing story of Lacey and Savich and their son Sean. I like Coop and Lucy's romance but I had a problem with her decision on what to do about the Ring. With multiple story lines this was definitely action packed--I enjoyed this book."

— Mindy (4 out of 5 stars)

    " I think that Catherine Coulter has gotten to the point with Savich and Sherlock that Patricia Cornwell hit with Kay Scarpetta: it is time to let them go. The focus used to be on Savich/Sherlock using their paranormal-ish powers to help solve crimes and was barely mentioned in this book. There is a book after this one in the series, I don't know the title and don't think I am going to learn it. "

    " What a disappointment. Maybe I've been reading too many "good" books. Predictable and eye rolling at times romance, plot was also pretty predictable. I did enjoy the twist on the whole Ted Bundy thing, but that was about it. Going back to a new YA title I guess. "

    " I think Coulter has a split personality. She can't decide if she wants to write crime thrillers or paranormal accounts. The crime thriller side of this book was pretty good, but the paranormal part detracted a great deal from the story. I have read several by her, but this will be my last. "

    " I didn't find it all that thrilling. The paranormal aspect was unexpected and threw me for a loop. The convenience store story felt like an afterthought. And the romance wasn't very well developed. "

    " I enjoy Coulter's FBI series...usually! I struggled with this one. The three separate story lines were too much. The main plot was good but the magic ring and the convenience store owner didn't fit - it took away from the main story. Sometimes less is more. "

    " Disappointing. There was no character development; instead the dialogue between the characters supposed to show quirkiness or flirtation or whatever emotion the character was suddenly supposed to be feeling but it just came off as stilted. And the plot was all over the place. I do not recommend it. "
