Dear Reader:

Are you ready for a wild ride? When six-year-old Sam Kettering is kidnapped and manages to save himself, everything's over, right? Not by a long shot.

Sheriff Katie Benedict contacts Sam's father, Miles Kettering, ex-FBI agent, and he and Savich fly to eastern Tennessee to determine why Sam was kidnapped and brought to such an unlikely locale as Jessborough, Tennessee.

The kidnappers just don't give up. They try again. The question remains: Why do the kidnappers want this little boy so badly? The investigation leads to a charismatic, intense, twenty-first-century Rasputin, Reverend Sooner McCamy, and his gorgeous, enigmatic wife, Elsbeth.

As if the kidnapping case weren't enough, Savich and Sherlock are at the same time desperate to find the cold-blooded killer of three high school math teachers in the Washington, D.C., area.

I absolutely guarantee you will be scratching your head while checking to be sure your doors are locked as you try to figure out these two very different mysteries.

Enjoy, Catherine Coulter

FBI - 8
