Reckoning: An FBI Thriller (An FBI Thriller, 26)
Agents Savich and Sherlock are back in the latest installment in Catherine Coulter's #1 New York Times bestselling FBI Thriller series, and this time both are enlisted to help women with traumatic pasts who are in mortal danger.
When she was twelve years old, Kirra Mandarian's parents were murdered and she barely escaped with her life. Fourteen years later Kirra is a commonwealth attorney back home in Porte Franklin, Virginia, and her goal is to find out who killed her parents and why. She assumes the identity of E.N.-Eliot Ness-and gathers proof to bring down the man she believes was behind her parents' deaths. She quickly learns that big-time criminals are very dangerous indeed and realizes she needs Dillon Savich's help. Savich brings in Special Agent Griffin Hammersmith to work with Lieutenant Jeter Thorpe, the young detective who'd saved Kirra years before.
Emma Hunt, a piano prodigy and the granddaughter of powerful crime boss Mason Lord, was only six years old when she was abducted. Then, she was saved by her adoptive father, San Francisco federal judge Ramsey Hunt. Now a 12-year-old with a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, she narrowly saves herself from a would-be kidnapper at Davies Hall in San Francisco. Worried for her safety, Emma's entire family joins her for her next performance, at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.. Sherlock and officers from METRO are assigned to protect her, but things don't turn out as planned…

Agents Mr. Dillon Savage and Mrs. Sherlock Savage are handling two major cases at once. Someone is trying to kidnap a twelve year old girl, while an unknown vigilante is trying to take down a manor crime family. Do the cases have something in common or is the only commonality the FBI involvement? Gotta read it to find out.

You won’t be able to feed yourself or anyone else as long as you are reading this book. Once you pick it up, you won’t put it down long enough to even feel hungry! One does have to be careful to keep the characters straight though as there are two stories, each with its own cast, and so breathtaking it Carrie’s you along on the ride of your life!
Kindle Dlg_1971
A fast, gripping murder thriller filled with drug king pins, criminals, bad cops, lawyers and FBI agents. Witnessing her parents murder, forced into leaving her home and growing up in Australia, Kirra returns to find her parents murder. She stirs up a hornets nest and Savich and Sherlock get involved. Lots of twists and turns in the true Counter way!

I have read all of the FBI thrillers by Catherine Coulter, and always anxiously await the next one. However, I think this is my favorite. I loved the new characters as well as the "old" ones. At times I realized I was holding my breath hoping a plotline would turn out ok, and would have to remind myself that it was a book of fiction and not real life. Buy this book, you will love it.
