Crazy, convoluted story with the perfectly beautiful, intelligent players. Two cases conveniently intertwined. ( )

Synopsis: 'Whatever Sally St. John Brainerd knows about her arms dealer father's murder, she obviously trusts no one including the FBI. Instead of turning to the authorities to tell them what she knows about Amory St. John's murder, Sally flees to her aunt's remote home in THE COVE, Oregon.
FBI Agent James Quinlan tracks Sally to the picturesque coastal town, but does not attempt to bring her in. Instead he goes undercover as a private sleuth trying to solve a three year old missing persons' case. Two elderly people vanished at The Cove. The quaint town that boasts of the best ice cream in the world is not quite as tranquil as it first appears. Soon homicides occur and Sally vanishes. With the help of his partner Dillon Savich, James must rescue her from a place that no one has ever returned alive before.'
Review: Interesting story line to introduce ongoing characters. The town reminds me of Cabot Cove; I expected to see Jessica Fletcher pop in to solve the crime. ( )

This is the first book of hers I have read, though I've seen others with them. It was entertaining, although it was rather unbelievable. ( )

Whew, I had a blast from the past reading this backlist title from Catherine Coulter’s FBI thriller series. I’ve nearly gotten to all the books and it’s been fun, quite honestly, working my way back in time and seeing how writing styles have changed over the decades. In this one, Sally, the daughter of an important man in Washington, runs away after her father’s murder. She can’t remember what happened that night… just that her father has abused her and her mother for years… and that she has creepy memories of being institutionalized for reasons she can’t understand. People are after Sally, but figuring out who and why is up to Dylan Savich (yay! Now I want to see where we meet Sherlock 😊) and special agent James Quinnlan. This was a fun one, with SPOOKY twists as we got to the end. Wasn’t expecting that one!
