Book Description:
In Catherine Coulter's riveting work of contemporary suspense, a woman running from the enemies who killed her father seeks sanctuary in a small town.



"A fast-paced, solidly structured read." (Publishers Weekly)



Dear Reader:



The Cove is a quaint little postcard town made up only of old folk who sell the World's Greatest Ice Cream -- a secret recipe that brings lots of tourists into town.



Into The Cove comes Sally Brainerd, daughter of murdered Amory St. John of Washington, D.C., seeking sanctuary, and FBI Special Agent James Quinlan who's undercover and after her. He's got a murder to solve, and he believes she's the key. But is she really?



Are you ready to strap yourself in for nonstop romantic suspense? I'm going to scare you; treat you to mysteries that will, hopefully, confound you; and have you smiling and nodding at an unlikely love story between two of the neatest people you'll ever meet.



Grab hold tight and come into a world where illusion becomes reality and truth is a disguise.



Let me know what you think of this contemporary, a novel I really enjoyed writing. Yes, I scared myself a couple of times.

I actually read another book in this series first. I liked the other book so much I came back and read all the books of the series in order! This was a pretty good book, with a good story. I liked most of the people in the story even the bad guy/s. They were well thought out and for the most part very likable. Although I thought it was kind of predictable, and I knew exactly how it would end, I still was hooked and couldn't quit reading. Good story for any one who likes mysteries or woman detectives.

Nonstop romantic/ suspense by a master storyteller.She also does not have to use excessive sexual and/or gory scenes to sell a book.

From one clue to the next, Coulter keeps you reading. Then with her usual florish - surprises you with a twist you never expect. Super!

Typical Coulter - - lots of twists and turns, interesting characters and great story line. Tight and fast reading. A town is systematically killing people and into this comes an FBI agent tracking a totally different crime. How will the two mesh? Read this great book and find a little romance too.

Fantastic thriller/mystery by Catherine Coulter. Featuring the handsome FBI Special Agent James Quinlan and the on-the-run Sally Brainerd, daughter of a Washington D.C. bigwig. It takes place in D.C. and in Oregon and just when you think you know what's going on, Coulter throws a wrench in. It is a fun read!!!

I've read some of the Dillon Savich books but wanted to read the first one he was in-before Sherlock. It more than lived up to my expecations!

This was a good read with many twists and turns in the plot.

I was disapointed in this book. The story was good, but the writing was irritating (the dialog wasn't always believable). I know I've read Coulter before because one of the characters was familiar from another book, but I don't remember this style of writing.

This book kept me going, I did not put it down.

Excellent. This was the first Coulter I read and I was hooked.

I read the #8 FBI Thriller before this one, so I was somewhat familiar with the characters. This was truly a book with a surprise ending! Combination of romance and mystery.

Towards the end it felt like she added in a lot of stuff that was unnecessary to the story, but otherwise I enjoyed this book.
