"Fast-Paced Thriller"

Though well-know for her many historical novels, Ms. Coulter has engendered many fans with her contemporary Sherlock and Savich series. Married FBI agents Lacey Sherlock and Dillon Savich take somewhat of a back seat in this latest Coulter novel, but they play an important part, nevertheless. When friend and former FBI agent, Miles Kettering,is devastated when his six-year-old son Sam is kidnapped, Sherlock and Savich are soon on the case, especially when Sam miraculously escapes the Tennessee cabin where he was hidden by his captors.

Discovered running in the rain by local Sheriff Katie Benedict and her young daughter, Keely, Sam is quickly brought to safety in Katie's home where his father and Savich arrive soon after. But the suspense is far from over, as the kidnappers are relentless in their pursuit of Sam, despite the combined protection of several law enforcement agencies.

Together, Katie, Miles, Savich, and Sherlock discover that one of the kidnappers has a sister living nearby, Elsbeth McCamy, the wife of the ultra-pious Reverend McCamy, pastor of the Sinful Children of God Church. While the good Reverend and his wife repeatedly deny any involvement in Sam's kidnapping, the coincidence of the close proximity of the kidnapper's cabin to his sister's home is too obvious to be ignored.

Thrilling suspense continues with a bizarre twist when the purpose behind the kidnapping is finally revealed. With the ending packing another punch, true to Ms. Coulter's white knuckled novels, the read isn't over until the final page is written, as unbeknownst to lovers Miles and Katie; danger lurks around the next corner.
