From Catherine Coulter, the #1" New York Times"-bestselling author
of the FBI Thriller series, and J.T. Ellison, bestselling author
and ITW Award winner, comes the first book in a brilliant new
international thriller series featuring a new hero: American-born,
UK-raised Nicholas Drummond.
Scotland Yard's new chief inspector Nicholas Drummond is on the
first flight to New York when he learns his colleague, Elaine York,
the "minder" of the Crown Jewels for the "Jewel of the Lion"
exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, was found murdered. Then
the centerpiece of the exhibit, the infamous Koh-i-Noor Diamond, is
stolen from the Queen Mother's crown. Drummond, American-born but
raised in the UK, is a dark, dangerous, fast-rising star in the
Yard who never backs down. And this case is no exception.
Special Agents Lacey Sherlock and Dillon Savich from Coulter's
bestselling FBI series don't hesitate to help Drummond find the
cunning international thief known as the Fox. Nonstop action and
high stakes intensify as the chase gets deadly. The Fox will stop
at nothing to deliver the Koh-i-Noor to the man who believes in its
deadly prophecy. Nicholas Drummond, along with his partner, FBI
Special Agent Mike Caine, lay it on the line to retrieve the
diamond for Queen and country.
As a medical examiner, Samantha Owens knows her job is to make a
certain sense of death with crisp methodology and precision
instruments.
But the day the Tennessee floods took her husband and children, the
light vanished from Sam's life. She has been pulled into a
suffocating grief no amount of workaholic ardor can
penetrate--until she receives a peculiar call from Washington, D.C.
On the other end of the line is an old boyfriend's mother, asking
Sam to do a second autopsy on her son. Eddie Donovan is officially
the victim of a vicious carjacking, but under Sam's sharp eye the
forensics tell a darker story. The ex-Ranger was murdered, though
not for his car.
Forced to confront the burning memories and feelings about yet
another loved one killed brutally, Sam loses herself in the mystery
contained within Donovan's old notes. It leads her to the
untouchable Xander, a soldier off-grid since his return from
Afghanistan, and then to a series of brutal crimes stretching from
that harsh mountainous war zone to this nation's capital. The tale
told between the lines makes it clear that nobody's hands are
clean, and that making sense of murder sometimes means putting
yourself in the crosshairs of death.
Dr. Samantha Owens is starting over: new city, new job, new man,
new life. She's trying to put some distance between herself and the
devastating loss of her husband and children--but old hurts leave
scars.
Before she's even unpacked her office at Georgetown University's
forensic pathology department, she's called to consult on a case
that's rocked the capital and the country. An unknown pathogen
released into the Washington Metro has caused nationwide panic.
Three people died--"just" three.
A miracle and a puzzle...
Amid the media frenzy and Homeland Security alarm bells, Sam
painstakingly dissects the lives of those three victims and makes
an unsettling conclusion. This is no textbook terrorist causing
mayhem with broad strokes, but an artist wielding a much finer,
more pointed instrument of destruction. An assassin, whose motive
is deeply personal and far from understandable.
Xander Whitfield, a former army ranger and Sam's new boyfriend,
knows about seeing the world in shades of gray. About feeling
compelled to do the wrong thing for the right reasons. Only his
disturbing kinship with a killer can lead Sam to the truth...and
once more into the line of fire.
