✦ Synopsis


The number 1 New York Times**–bestselling author is back with an electrifying new entry in the FBI series featuring Savich and Sherlock.**

FBI Special Agent Griffin Hammersmith, last seen in Backfire, has been recruited by Dillon Savich to join his unit in Washington, D.C. Savich sees something special in Hammersmith, an almost preternatural instinct for tracking criminals.

While on his way to D.C., Hammersmith plans to visit his sister, Delsey, a student at Stanislaus School of Music in Maestro, Virginia. Before he arrives, he gets a phone call that Delsey was found naked, unconscious, and covered with blood after a wild party. The blood isn't hers—so who does it belong to?

Meanwhile, back in D.C., Savich and Sherlock have their hands full when the grandson of former chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank is found murdered, every bone in his body broken, and frozen at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial.

Was Savich right—is Griffin gifted with a unique ability to "see" how criminals think? And will he figure out who was behind the attempt on Delsey's life—before it's too late?

From Booklist

During a winter weekend in the Washington, D.C., area, a student at the Stanislaus School of Music in Maestro, Virginia, is attacked, and a young man’s body is found at the Lincoln Memorial. When aspiring musician Delsey Freestone’s family nickname of the Trouble Magnet holds true (she’s hit on the head when she finds a bloody body in her bathtub), her brother, FBI agent Griffin Hammersmith, en route to join agent Dillon Savich’s special unit in Washington, is soon there to help. Meanwhile Savich and his wife, Sherlock, are investigating the murder of Tommy Cronin, grandson of the former chairman of the former Fed chairman, who raised ire by retiring when the financial crisis erupted. As the situation in Maestro expands to major proportions, Tommy’s closest friends find themselves at risk. While Coulter tackles up-to-the-­minute issues (international drug trafficking, the fiscal meltdown), adds a touch of romance, and resolves crimes satisfactorily, her seventeenth FBI thriller seems short on the verve of earlier entries; coauthoring an upcoming new series, A Brit in the FBI, may be just the change she needs. --Michele Leber

Review

“Explodes from the first page…Catherine Coulter’s Bombshell delivers a breakneck plot, magnetic characters, and just enough romance to make everything sizzle—that is to say, exactly what the world loves about her bestselling FBI series…My one complaint is the book should come with a warning: Don’t open this if you have any plans. Once you start, you won’t be able to put it down.”—Allison Leotta, The Huffington Post

Bombshell leaves readers exhausted by the multiple plot turns but totally satisfied with their conclusions. It takes suspense to its fullest and makes for yet another winner from Coulter.”—BookReporter.com

“Captivating…Coulter expertly jacks up the suspense as she alternates between the two plot lines.”— Publishers Weekly

“Coulter tackles up-to-the-minute issues (international drug trafficking, the fiscal meltdown), [and] adds a touch of romance.”— Booklist

“A strong…police procedural…exciting and fast-paced.”— Midwest Book Review

“Coulter keeps the pace brisk and the twists coming!”— RT Book Reviews
