The Barnes & Noble Review New York Times –bestselling author Catherine Coulter's FBI series never fails to deliver sensual sizzle along with the suspense. In Blindside, husband-and-wife FBI agents Lacey Sherlock and Dillon Savich team up again on two vital cases: a killer who targets Washington, D.C., teachers and the kidnapping of an old friend's son. Though six-year-old Sam manages to escape and take refuge with Tennessee sheriff Katie Benedict and her daughter, Keely, his kidnappers quickly strike again...and pay a deadly price for the rematch when reinforcements arrive in the form of Sam's dad (a former FBI agent) and his buddy Savich. But the terror isn't over: It soon becomes clear that whoever is behind the kidnapping has only changed strategies, not abandoned the plan. The investigation leads in unexpected directions, particularly among the followers of a powerful local evangelist. As the story unfolds in a beautiful town nestled amid the Smoky Mountains, the quick-thinking sheriff uncovers unforeseen hazards, surprising secrets...and an extraordinary opportunity for love.

The sequel to the #1 Kindle bestseller MOTHER.The swamp is a living and breathing entity, and once you enter, it will do everything it can to keep you there... dead or alive. Kendra Wilson has seen her share of heinous crimes during her 12 year career as an FBI Agent, everything from brutal murders to the macabre. So at first glance, her newest case doesn't strike her as anything out of the ordinary—an apparent murder/suicide... a man who killed both his wife and their four-year old daughter, on the eve of her birthday. To most, an unthinkable crime. To Kendra, however, it seemed old hat. But this is not a cut and dry case, as the still cold glass of milk on the counter and the bloody scrawl on the refrigerator door will attest. When reports of other missing girls start filing in, all with a strange connection to one central location buried deep in the swamp, Kendra realizes that the milk is only the beginning… and that unraveling the truth underlying it all means not only delving into a crime committed more than four centuries ago, but digging deep into her own troubled past for answers. And the truth is worse than anything even she could have imagined. Grab your copy of FATHER, Book 2 in the best-selling Family Values Trilogy, TODAY!** Views: 47

It is spring, 1543 and King Henry VIII is wooing Lady Catherine Parr, whom he wants for his sixth wife — but this time the object of his affections is resisting. Archbishop Cranmer and the embattled Protestant faction at court are watching keenly, for Lady Catherine is known to have reformist sympathies. Matthew Shardlake, meanwhile, is working on the case of a teenage boy, a religious maniac who has been placed by the King's council in the Bedlam hospital for the insane. Should he be released as his parents want, when his terrifying actions could lead to him being burned as a heretic? Then, when an old friend is horrifically murdered, Shardlake promises his widow — for whom he has long had complicated feelings — to bring the killer to justice. His search leads him to connections not only with the boy in Bedlam, but with Archbishop Cranmer and Catherine Parr, and with the dark prophecies of the Book of Revelation. As London's Bishop Bonner prepares a purge of Protestants, Shardlake, together with his assistant Jack Barak and his friend Guy Malton, follow the trail of a series of horrific murders that shake them to the core. Murders which are already bringing about frenzied talk of witchcraft and a demonic possession, for what else would the Tudor mind make of a serial killer? Views: 47
