Federal Judge Ramsey Hunt, a long time friend of Sherlock
and Savich, is shot in the back. The husband and wife team
will travel to California to investigate the murder attempt
even though they are receiving threatening notes.
Judge Hunt was presiding at a trial with an aggressive
prosecutor, Mickey O'Rourke. When the attorney starts
acting confused and uncertain, Ramsey has no choice but to
declare a mistrial. When the prosecutor disappears, all of
the local law enforcement is out to track down what is
happening. They don't appreciate the Feds coming in and
taking over.
Savich is used to dealing with this kind of resentment and
handles the situation appropriately, making use of all his
resources as they work to find Mr. O'Rourke and watch over
the Judge.
Ms. Coulter's FBI series is fast-paced with almost never
ending excitement. This one is no different. Even as we
see Sherlock and Savich do their duty, we see their love for
each other and their son, Sean. The small insights we get
into their family just makes readers appreciate their
sacrifice more. Readers will grieve with the families of
Mr. O'Rourke and Judge Hunt as we cheer for those seeking to
solve the mysteries that surround them. It's always hard to
see these books come to an end since the characters seem so
real.
San Francisco Judge Ramsey Hunt, longtime friend to FBI
agents Lacey Sherlock and Dillon Savich, is presiding over
the trial of Clive and Cindy Cahill – accused in a string
of murders – when the proceedings take a radical turn.
Federal prosecutor Mickey O'Rourke, known for his
relentless style, becomes suddenly tentative in his
opening statement, leading Hunt to suspect he’s been
threatened – suspicions that are all but confirmed when
Hunt is shot in the back.
Savich and Sherlock receive news of the attack as an
ominous note is delivered to Savich at the Hoover
Building: YOU DESERVE THIS FOR WHAT YOU DID. Security
tapes fail to reveal who delivered the tapes. Who is
behind the shooting of Judge Ramsey Hunt? Who sent the
note to Savich? And what does it all mean? Savich and
Sherlock race to San Francisco to find out…watching their
backs all the while.
