Baffled by a seemingly supernatural connection to his critically injured sister, an FBI special agent heads to the Oregon coast in search of a more plausible explanation for his sudden ESP, only to discover more puzzling mysteries.
FBI agent Ford MacDougal—"Mac"—is recovering from a terrorist car bombing when his sister appears to purposely drive her Porsche off an Oregon cliff. Curiously, Mac felt as if he were in the car with her as she sailed toward the sea, even though he was really in a hospital bed on the other side of the country.
By the time Mac arrives in Portland, his sister—Dr. Jilly Bartlett, a medical researcher—has come out of the coma she's been in for four days. But after a few scant hours with her brother, Jilly vanishes without a trace. In searching for her, Mac gets a different story from everyone he encounters. When the local sheriff enlists Mac's aid in a puzzling murder of an elderly resident, Mac little suspects that the case connects to his sister's disappearance. FBI agents Lacey Sherlock and Dillon Savich (last seen in The Target) join Mac to ride shotgun, only to find their search leading from a small town on the Oregon coast to the rain forests of Costa Rica. Together, they must escape relentless pursuers as well as the hostile jungle itself before discovering the true nature of the evil at The Edge.

"I have read this book countless times and I have to say that I am never disappointed. I thoroughly enjoy this series. The way that Savich and Sherlock are together is the best part of the book. Their working relationship and marriage are terrific! I love them together! "

" Strange read the title fits. Some parts of the story was over The Edge. Hope the next story is better. "
— Sharon, 2/12/2014" I have not read Coulter's Sherlock and Savich books in any particular order. I've enjoyed the series for the most part but this book has been a bit of a challenge. I did finish it, but it didn't seem to have the sparkle that most of her others have had. Still an ok read, that meets up with the Savich and Sherlock series. Don't you just love those two. "
— Carol, 2/8/2014" Frankly, I just believe that Coulter can do better than this, because I've read better work from her. "
— Carrie, 2/3/2014" This book was my least favorite of the series so far. She seemed to be all over the place and I struggled to hold interest. The only reason I read through to the end was out of commitment to finish the books I begin. "
— Missrem, 2/3/2014" Not one of Coulter's best in my opinion. The story moved well enough, but I didn't care for it being written in first person from Mac's point of view. Also felt the ending didn't offer enough closure. Once the criminals were exposed, it wasnt' clear how all of them were dealt with. (Maybe I read through it too fast.) "
— Jill, 1/17/2014" It was silly really, but still compulsively readable. No insight into anything, except maybe the weather of Costa Rica and diversity of life in the rain forest. The book contains quite a bit of sex and is sprinkled with jarring statements such as, "I'd give my right nut for a beer". Still, I was interested enough to read it pretty much straight through. "
— Chana, 1/7/2014" Strange start, but its grtting interesting! I hope thatdrug is never developed!! "
— April, 1/5/2014" Robert Lawrence was not the voice of the characters. "
— Vannessagrace, 1/4/2014" Not as thrilling as her other FBI series since I guessed the killer about 1/3 of the way through the book. "
— Andrea, 12/29/2013" This FBI series is fun and exciting. Read them all. You won't be disappointed and you'll be waiting for the next one to come out. "
— Deejay, 12/14/2013" I loved the story. I had to skip a few pages because of the sex but other than that I loved it. I love the characters & can't wait to get to the others in the series. "
— Arnell, 12/13/2013" I like the main two people they were very lovable. However, I didn't like the story! And I didn't like who Mac always spoke in the third person. "
— Jillian, 12/9/2013" The story was okay and never grabbed me like previous stories have. Mac and Laura were not a very captivating couple, no sparks. "
— Christine, 12/7/2013" Thought it was a very good story. Kept me guessing who was the bad guys and what was going to happen next. I will be reading more of her work. "
— Sammi, 12/5/2013" Didnt like this book but I did the first three in the series and will continue on with the rest. One thing I dont understand it why she threw in a first person book in the series - none of the others were that way. "
— Cindy, 12/4/2013" loved it but was a bit hard to for me because i get so engrossed with everyone and so when someone gets hurt makes me upset "
— Sandi, 9/22/2013" Very Good; FBI agent makes a mental link with his sister as she drives off a cliff a continent away, then goes to her aid and finds a criminal conspiracy to launch a new designer drug. "
— Joe, 8/29/2013" Didn't really enjoy this book. Not believable and all the characters are insane. "
— Malia, 2/27/2013" Book #13 read in 2009 "
— Melissa, 8/20/2012" Long ago, I read the first couple books in Coulter's FBI series. I've also listened to a few on audio. This is another one. It was fast, light, and (I'm almost ashamed to admit) actually held a couple of surprises for me plot-wise. A pleasant surprise, indeed, since it was more than I was expecting. "
— Robin, 6/10/2012" Another Sherlock mystery - love these books "
— Gerry, 4/9/2012" The author seems to like small quirky towns as her settings. Partway through I thought it was very similar to "The Cove". Didn't like as well as some as her others. "
— Amber, 12/30/2011" wow, i dont even know what to think..it was intense but gripping , so i guess i endured it.. "
— Heather, 11/21/2011" This is the 2nd book I have read by Catherine Coulter, and I reallym didn't like either one. The plots were too convoluted, and unbelievable. When I didn't like the first one, I thought I would give her another try, but I don't think I will read another one of her books. "
— Carolyn, 10/2/2011" Passed on "
— Jordan, 9/19/2011" I've enjoyed most of the FBI series but in this one, it seemed like some parts were far fetched and made the FBI look a bit incompetent. I felt it was also lacking in the suspense the others had, but for the most part, the story moved right along. "
— Brittany, 9/1/2011" Very formulaic. The second part, The Edge, is pretty ridiculous. "
— Allison, 6/13/2011" This was a book that had two thrillers ~ The Target & The Edge~ <br/>These are two of Catherine Coulter's first novels. I really liked The Target, but was tired of the cookie cutter writing in The Edge. I hadn't read her in a few years, but now have my fill for a few more. "
— Robin, 9/13/2010" Fast-paced and keeps you wondering until the end "
