FBI Special Agent Jackson Crowne is flying renowned psychiatrist Dr. Timothy MacLean back to Washington, D.C., to protect him and discover who’s trying to kill him. But they don’t make it. That same morning, agents Savich and Sherlock are told about Agent Crowne’s Mayday sent from deep in the Appalachian mountains near Parlow, Kentucky. Within thirty minutes, Savich and Sherlock are aboard an FBI helicopter, headed for Parlow. Agent Crowne barely manages to bring his Cessna down in the narrow Cudlow Valley and haul the unconscious Dr. MacLean from the burning wreckage before it explodes. Their crash is witnessed by Rachael Abbott, a young woman who has just narrowly escaped drowning by assailants who drugged her, tied her to a cement block, and threw her into Black Rock Lake. When Savich and Sherlock arrive in Parlow, they discover Jack is down but not out, that Rachael saved his and Dr. MacLean’s lives, and that she’s hiding something big. To add to the complexity of the situation, Dr. MacLean has been diagnosed with frontal lobe dementia, a pernicious disease that makes the victim say whatever comes to mind with no regard to consequences. With a patient list of Washington’s elite movers and shakers, MacLean has almost certainly compromised doctor-patient confidentiality, and one of his patients, they presume, is out to shut him up. But which one, and why?

"This author is a more recent favorite of mine. Her novels are fast-paced and very absorbing. This is only the second or third that I've read of hers, and I really like the characters. I'm looking forward to reading the other 9 or 10 in this series, and hopefully they're all as good! " — Robin (5 out of 5 stars)

" I thought the story was too predictable& did not care for the way it was written. I was expectiong something different - more suspense. "
" I have read several of Coulter's FBI thrillers. I like the stories and the characters in the series. This one was much like the others. "
" A fine little murder mystery. I have not read any of her others but I certainly might in the future "
" Another great one. I liked the part where the manager of Barnes and Noble was offering free chocolate cake to the survivors of the shooting after it was over. "
" I like the Savich and Sherlock stories. The do not have to be read in order and can stand alone. "
" This is really good read. "
" It was good enough to give the author another chance but I found most of the book and dialogue cheesy and sometimes unbelievable. But it wasn't a bad book it just wasn't a great book. "
" Another good FBI story. "
" I love this FBI series. Most I give a 5 to, but the two parallel stories in this book, with no real tie in between them was a little distracting. "
" Great book. Savich and Sherlock are better than ever. "
" I love reading about Jack, Savich & Sherlock! I read this book in the past but re-read it to refresh my memory! I read the prior book about Jack's problems in Virginia. Double Jeopardy. I will read more Catherine Coulter books in the future! "
" My first introduction to this author. I shall read another of the beginning of the series. I enjoyed it "
" The story held my interest. She should never write dialogue. Her dialogue does not ring true for her characters, it is actually distracting. FBI agents use phrases you would expect to hear from old evangelical ladies in rocking chairs. "Oh goodness, this tastes wonderful." "
" Love Catherine's FBI series. "
" Okay, a little sappy at times. "
" This was good enough that I would read more of her "FBI" romance/mysteries. "
" I grabbed this book quickly because it was a small paperback that would be easy to read on a flight. After 60 pages I just couldn't take anymore of the amateur writing and stilted dialogue. How did this ever get published? "
" Good. I wouldn't say GREAT...just good. Reliable characters from the series. I always enjoy Coulter but wished this one had more..something? "
" I read this via Audiobook. I loved the book, the readers, the storyline, the characters. A great FBI Thriller. "
" Ugh- not good , not bad "
" I like Catherine Coulter's writing style. Her characters are more dimentional than many fictional FBI agents. "
" As always a killer read from Ms Coulter. I just wish she could write as fast as I read lol! "
" Good read.... but I think I am getting tired of the Savich/Sherlock books I need to take a break. Going to read The Shack by William Young this weekend. "
" Not to ad... Had a lot of potential throughout the beginning of the book, and some interesting characters... But I thought the ending was a little forced and almost too quick given the pace of the rest of the story "
" good book,as usual! Although I didnt become as wrapped up in this one. "
" Really enjoyed it. Haven't read any of her books before but look forward to finding more and reading when time allows. "
" I started this book but just couldn't get into it. I really don't like the way Coulter writes. The dialogue just doesn't flow, and the characters say absurb things. "
" This is a great series "
" I love this author and her FBI series. This book kept me on my toes. "
" Fun escape but not really my favorite... not a can't put down type of mystery. "
" An FBI thriller sublime. A quick read. A twisted plot. A spell binder! "
" While I enjoyed the characters, the story was a little far-fetched (this from someone who reads fantasy). However, when I read a contemporary novel, I expect it to be more realistic. "
" More of a romance then a mystery - very cliched, since I bought it (the premise was very interesting), I thought I had better read it but had to force myself to do it. The entire plot was unbelievable once I started reading it! Very disappointing! "
" It was an okay read. Her story lines are good, the characters are good, but the dialogue isn't natural and some of her details are incorporated into the story in an awkward fashion at times. Her storytelling process could be smoother and more natural. (It's hard to explain.) "
" I used to love her books, but I thought this was just horrible. I had to keep rereading certain paragraphs because she just threw thoughts in that made no sense to the storyline. "
" Classic Coulter! A must read for Coulter fans on her FBI saga or anyone who enjoys suspense. "
