From the Publisher

In Coulter’s fab 14th FBI paranormal romantic thriller (after KnockOut), FBI special agents Dillon Savich and his wife, Lacey Sherlock, look into the possible haunting of a U.S. senator by his dead wife as well as a more earthly crime: Germany’s Schiffer Hartwin Pharmaceutical, which has its U.S. headquarters in Connecticut, might be deliberately withholding an inexpensive cancer fighting drug, Culovort, to force cancer patients to require the far more expensive Eloxium, in short supply. The FBI probe dovetails with one by PI and part-time ballet teacher Erin Pulaski, who’s hired by a Yale professor worried about his cancer-stricken father being affected by the shortage. In a wild coincidence, Bowie Richards, the FBI special agent in charge of the New Haven field office, also hires Erin—to babysit his daughter, a ballet student of hers. The attraction between Bowie and Erin grows as they help Dillon and Lacey crack a complicated double case. Coulter fans will want to see more of this new crime-fighting duo. (June)

Publishers Weekly

In the latest in Coulter’s series of FBI thrillers, married agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock are once again locked in a deadly confrontation with evil, this time with an international flair. A multinational drug firm conspires to keep a great old cancer drug off the market to increase the sales of a more recent, expensive, substitute. The tag team of Paul Costanzo and Renée Raudman is superb. They practically bring the life of a full-cast recording to this otherwise unremarkable work. They’re vocal handoffs are spot-on, and Raudman manages the kids’ voices effortlessly. Their pacing is so good the listener can hear the improvement it brings to the story. Where the dialogue slows down to a crawl they add just the right push to keep it going. M.C. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
