Product Description
From the #1 bestselling author, a stunning new novel of secrets, mayhem, and murder.
FBI Special Agent Jackson Crowne is flying his Cessna over the Appalachians, with a very important passenger: renowned psychiatrist Dr. Timothy MacLean; their destination is Washington, D.C. Upon their arrival, the FBI will protect the doctor and ascertain just who wants him dead.
But they don t make it.
In San Francisco, married FBI Special Agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock take an early morning phone call from their supervisor, Jimmy Maitland. Maitland received a Mayday from Jackson in the mountains near Parlow, Kentucky, and sends Savich and Sherlock to see what s happened.
Agent Crowne is able to bring his plane down in a narrow valley and haul the unconscious Dr. MacLean from the burning wreckage before it explodes. Their crash is witnessed by Rachael Abbott, a young woman on the run after the mysterious death of her father. When Savich and Sherlock arrive on the scene, they find Jackson and Rachael in the Parlow clinic and Dr. MacLean comatose in the local hospital, prognosis unknown. What they do know frightens them: Dr. MacLean was recently diagnosed with frontal lobe dementia, and in the months prior to the crash his behavior had become erratic and alarmingly uninhibited, his ability to maintain doctor-patient confidentiality badly compromised. With a patient list made up of Washington movers and shakers, MacLean s role as a keeper of secrets is jeopardized as well. Is there someone out there so desperate that they d kill the doctor for what he knows? It is up to Jackson, Savich, and Sherlock to find out no matter the cost.

 Another great Savich/Sherlock FBI thriller July 24, 2008

I loved this book. It was a page turner and kept me very interested in every word written. I always enjoy Catherine Coulter's books and this was no exception. The great dialog between the married FBI agents is the best. Throw in a few more characters, a bit of an FBI plot, some mystery and "who done it" intrigue and you have a great story that is fun and exciting to read. If you like her books and her "people", you'll love this book.
Enjoy----a perfect summer beach read.
Excellent FBI Thriller. I'm a Total Fan July 12, 2008

The only thing I could wish for in this story was that Jackson Crowe and Rachael Abbott had not hooked up. It was too predictable and follows a pattern that the author has established in her prior books. I guess that I am rebelling against this common ploy, perhaps unfairly. Catherine Coulter is such an outstanding author that she doesn't need to dip her pen in that inkwell. She does, however, portray intimacy with a fine and restrained hand, and never debases herself or her characters with vulgar, soft porn descriptives that far too many authors seem to think necessary to sell a book. I appreciate this respect for the intelligence of the reader and the characters' integrity.
There are so many threads to follow in this excellent FBI story. Savich and Sherlock are as compelling and engaging as always. I didn't like that Sherlock got shot, however. One gets so attached to the characters that to put one in such jeopardy is emotionally wrenching. I know, I know, silly, but there you have it. The were few surprises as to who the killers of Senator Abbott were, which I would have liked to figure out myself; however, there was a surprise! surprise! very bad person that I didn't "get" until the very end. I liked that twist a lot.
One could really feel a lot of empathy toward the unfortunate Dr. Maclean and the medical course he was doomed to follow due to his disease that put him and his patients at such risk. It caused me to reflect upon aging and the brain pathologies that can destroy a person. This is one of Catherine's strongest suits as a writer. She inspires deeper, personalized reflections through the excellent content she includes in her books.
As always .. THE Best! July 25, 2008

Catherine Coulter is, and always has been, one of my favorite authors. I wait on pins and needles until her next FBI Thriller comes out, and Tailspin doesn't disappoint! Great read! Couldn't put it down!
