Additional TailSpin (FBI Thriller, No. 12) Information

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.

 

What Customers Say About TailSpin (FBI Thriller, No. 12):

Catherine Coulter aways manages to hold the readers interest in a fast paced thriller. Another thriller featuring Sherlock and Savich FBI agents.

She also wrote Impulse, False Pretenses, and Beyond Eden which are more of a romantic suspense type book and not part of the FBI series. Stuff like this annoys me - it would have gotten their case thrown out. She decides to hid until she can figures things out but before she makes it to her hiding place she sees a plane crash land. She runs over to help and finds an FBI agent (Jack Crowne) and another passenger. I like her writing style more in those books, although they are from the late 80s early 90s and still have a bit of the passive female, dominant male thing going on, but not as bad as it could be. To be honest, I am starting to find her style of writing very distracting and annoying - it is very stream of consciousness type writing and can be very distracting in this type of suspense story.

Ok, so all of the information in this paragraph is within the first few paragraphs or the dust jacket so I don't consider them spoilers. I have to say that as much as I wanted to like this book, it was just ok. Also, the bad guys were obvious right from the start, something I found I didn't like. If you like the series, you should read this book. I also think that the author tells a good story, I just wish she would use a more concise and straightforward manner rather than the stream of consciousness stuff. I am afraid that CC writing has gotten repetitive, as have her characters. This is the story of Rachael, who is on the run from unknown persons who are trying to kill her for unknown reasons. She is drugged, tied up, attached to a concrete block, and threw her in a lake.

Some of her earlier books in the FBI series are The Cove, The Maze, and The Target. So now that I have made it sound like I hate the book, let me tell you why I didn't. Also, the constant flaunting of any and all rules of police behavior really annoyed me - they questioned a person have he asked for a lawyer, they slapped a suspect, etc. If you are interested in suspense, thrillers, etc - start with some of her earlier books because I like them better. Also, as some of the other reviewers have pointed out, the editor for this book (and other recent books in this series) isn't very good.

It may help a little bit, but is not necessary by any means. Anyway, give Coulter a try, even if you check a book out from the library, but try one of her earlier FBI series or one of the other three I mentioned above. Also, even though this is a series, you don't have to read the books in order. But because she is a heroine, of course she pulled a Houdini and escaped. I like the interactions between Savich and Sherlock.

There are lots of continuity issues between the books. She helps them out and then to repay her for all her help, instead of letting her go when she wants they decide to keep her around. Some facts get bogged down and others come too late.

Don't miss this one. Coulter gets better with each new Dillon & Savich book.

THIS IS A MUST READ. I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. FROM BEGINNING TO END KEEPS YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT.

I had it read in under two days. This was a very good book, part of the FBI series.
