Knock Out Catherine Coulter

In Catherine Coulter's latest F.B.I. thriller, Knock Out, Special Agents and married couple Sherlock and Dillon Savich become involved in two unrelated but equally dangerous cases.

The Savich's unwittingly embroil themselves in a shoot-out bank robbery. Two of the suspects are killed, one ends up in the hospital, while the driver escapes. The young get-away driver, Victor, manages to spring his girlfriend, Lissy, from her hospital room. Lissy vows deadly revenge for the death of her mother, one of the robbers gunned down in the attempted bank heist. The two go on a bloody rampage, leaving bodies in their wake.

If this incident and the recovery of Sherlock from a past gunshot wound weren't enough, Dillon receives a psychic-vision message from a seven-year-old girl begging for his help. A strange cult-like family ,to which her father once belonged,wants her to join them, and her mother is on the run to protect her. Small town sheriff Ethan Merriweather and Dillon work together to keep little Autumn from these evil people's grasp, but this ruthless group employ strong powers of their own. Keeping up with both cases becomes a challenge for the Saviches as they attempt to keep the hunted from emerging as the hunters.

Coulter's F.B.I. novels are always an exciting reading experience, but "Knock Out" with its psychic conversation between Dillon and Autumn, puts a different slant on things. Expect plenty of unexpected plot twists that will make this book difficult to put down. On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate it a 6.
