More About This Book

Overview

Yale professor Dr. Edward Kender’s father is undergoing chemotherapy when the supply of a critical accompanying drug, Culovort, suddenly runs out. Unwilling to accept the drug manufacturer’s disingenuous excuse of production line problems, Dr. Kender hires private investigator Erin Pulaski to prove that something more sinister is going on at Schiffer Hartwin.
Meanwhile, in Maryland, married FBI agents Lacey Sherlock and Dillon Savich are investigating a rather unusual case: Senator David Hoffman is experiencing a ghostly apparition with possible malicious intent. The case is baffling, and Sherlock and Savich are not sure what to believe, even after witnessing the disturbing specter for themselves. They’re no closer to cracking the case when a call comes in from Connecticut: A top foreign Schiffer Hartwin employee has been found murdered behind the drug company’s U.S. headquarters.
Unbeknownst to the FBI, Erin Pulaski had uncovered a bombshell in her investigation: The Culovort shortage is set to bring in a windfall profit in excess of two billion dollars. Upon learning of the murder, Erin is certain it has something to do with her findings, but she risks exposing herself by coming forward. As the feds move in, the case becomes even more complicated for Erin, since the murder of a foreign national on federal land can mean only that the pharmaceutical house has a secret of epic proportions — one it would do anything to keep hidden.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
In Coulter’s fab 14th FBI paranormal romantic thriller (after KnockOut), FBI special agents Dillon Savich and his wife, Lacey Sherlock, look into the possible haunting of a U.S. senator by his dead wife as well as a more earthly crime: Germany’s Schiffer Hartwin Pharmaceutical, which has its U.S. headquarters in Connecticut, might be deliberately withholding an inexpensive cancer fighting drug, Culovort, to force cancer patients to require the far more expensive Eloxium, in short supply. The FBI probe dovetails with one by PI and part-time ballet teacher Erin Pulaski, who’s hired by a Yale professor worried about his cancer-stricken father being affected by the shortage. In a wild coincidence, Bowie Richards, the FBI special agent in charge of the New Haven field office, also hires Erin—to babysit his daughter, a ballet student of hers. The attraction between Bowie and Erin grows as they help Dillon and Lacey crack a complicated double case. Coulter fans will want to see more of this new crime-fighting duo. (June)

Meet the Author

Catherine Coulter
Catherine Coulter

Catherine Coulter is the author of the New York Times- bestselling FBI thrillers The Cove, The Maze, The Target, The Edge, Riptide, Hemlock Bay, Eleventh Hour, Blindside, Blowout, Point Blank, Double Take, TailSpin, and KnockOut. She lives in northern California.

Biography

The author of dozens of bestsellers, Catherine Coulter made her Romance debut with 1978's The Autumn Countess, a fast-moving story she describes as "a Gothic masquerading as a Regency." Six more Regency romances followed in quick succession; then, in 1982, she penned her first full-length historical novel, Devil's Embrace. She counts several trilogies among her most popular historicals, notably the Bride Trilogy -- which, in turn, spawned an ongoing story sequence featuring the beloved Sherbrooke family of Regency-era England.

In 1988, Coulter tried her hand at contemporary romance with a twisty little page-turner called False Pretenses. Her fans ate it up and begged for more. Since then, she has interspersed historicals with contemporary romantic thrillers (like the novels in her bestselling FBI series) in one of the most successful change-ups in the history of romance publishing.

    Savich And Sherlock Strike Again

    Whiplash by Catherine Coulter

    Coulter is at her best in this book. A complicated, convoluted plot with intense action and lots of mystery characterize the story. New characters provide fresh input even though Savich and Sherlock have personality to spare. Conscience free drug companies and political intrigue round out this captivating story.

    Coulter writes a good mystery and keeps one captivated and entertained through out the story. Dillon Savich and his wife Lacey Sherlock are once again in the thick of things. Coulter appears to use them as the glue to tie her books together. Erin and Bowie could carry the story line in a stand alone, separate novel. Savich and Sherlock's interaction with each other and Erin and Bowie is fun to read. Perhaps more than many of Coulter's book which often are not intended to exercise your intellect or provide you with insights into your life, this book forces you to contemplate the ethics of the corporate world. There are murders, assaults, psychotics, psychic powers, fires, bombs, shootings, history and love stories in this book. In other words, there is something for everyone. I have enjoyed other Coulter books and I enjoyed this one.

    I highly recommend it.

    Whiplash

    Why is this not in ebook? It is very discouraging to not be able to get one of my favorite author's new book on Nook! Why have it, if you are not able to get the books you want. Guess the B&N associate was not correct when I was told I could get any book offered by B&N on Nook. Hope the decision not to offer this for Nook owners is soon changed.

    E-Book Complaints

    When determining if I would like to purchase a book, I read the reviews. Out of 26 customer reviews, only 2 were about the book! I don't care if you have a problem with books not available on Nook. Complain somewhere else. It is not BN fault--try the publisher! I want to know if the book is good or not.

    You have a problem with nook owners complaning when a new release is not available for e-book. Maybe the author and/or publisher will someday notice some of the negative reviews because of this.

    Another winner!

    I love her FBI series and can't wait for the next one. As always Dillon and Sherlock are the perfect team no matter how bizarre the circumstance. I like how Dillon can, on occasion, see and communicate with dead people. The plot for Whiplash is very timely, reflecting the often scary world of drug companies and the decisions they make that affects millions of people. As in many of her books Dillon and Sherlock are multitasking and trying to help a Senator who is being haunted with dire results. The romance between P.I. Erin, who is investigating Schiffer Hartwin Pharmaceutical Company for a client, and SAC Bowie is full of challenges and passion. This was a great read and a pleasure to add to my library.
    Don't miss any of her FBI thrillers as they are all terrific!

    UGH PEOPLE!!!

    People, I know this may be a difficult concept, but this is where you write a BOOK REVIEW. That means, give your opinions/thoughts on the actual BOOK! I don't give a crap that Nook owners are angry, that has nothing to do with the BOOK. I don't know how many times it has to be said for stupid people to understand, the fact that the book is not available in e-book has absolutely NOTHING to do with the author, therefore, it has nothing to do with book reviews, so stop giving crappy reviews because it's not available on Nook. That's not fair to the author, or to the people who check out the reviews to help them decide whether or not they want to buy the book!

    That said, here's my review. I enjoyed this book as I enjoy all of Catherine Coulter's books. I'm always glad to see another story involving Dillon and Sherlock, and I like the new characters she introduces as well. There was plenty of mystery, humor, etc. Everything we expect from Catherine Coulter.

    Technical Issue with Publisher

    I, too, contacted the publisher to find out why this book wasn't available in ebook format. In their answer to me they did refer to the book by name and said that it was supposed to be released in ebook format the same day the book was released but that a technical issue has delayed the ebook release. Hopefully it will be available for our Nooks soon.

    Another keeper

    I just finished Whiplash and it is another winner, I found both stories line, the Senator and the Drug company clever and engaging, although I like the Senator's storyline a tad more. It is sad that corporations can be such credible villians. Art is definely imitating life. I am sure we will be seeing more of Erin,PI, and Bowie,FBI, as their story is not complete. Savich and Sherlock are at their best as brilliant agents and a loving couple. My biggest concern is that the story ends on a ominous note and I will have to wait to see what the dark wind blows.

    I never would have purchased the Nook if I thought there was a chance that not all of my favorite authors would be available in this format. I, too, was assured by my salesperson that this shouldn't be an issue. Is this the publisher's choice?

    Disappointed with this one

    I really love the Savich and Sherlock characters, however this was my least favorite book in this series. It was so slow to get going. Within the first 100 pages I put it down many times which is not typical with any other books in this series. These characters lacked interest for me. It picked up towards the end but was very predictable.

    Another Great Book in The FBI Series!

    I like how Catherine Coulter is taking this series, and how she ties all of the books together. While you can read each book separately, it's nice to read the whole series and pick up the history of Savich and Sherlock.

    I thought I had it figured out with who did the murder and what the mystery was on the senator's haunting but I was pleasantly surprised on the twists at the end.

    not on nook

    Is this a new trend by publishers to make e books not available, if so then it makes the nook pretty useless. Barnes and noble should put pressure on the publishers to issue books in e book format otherwise they will destroy their nook market. I am really disappointed that the author/publisher are so greedy as to not issue e-book version

    Don't Buy a Nook -- or Kindle -- if You Want to Read New Releases

    Once again Nook owners are backstabbed by the lack of an eBook version of the latest title in Catherine Coulter's FBI series.


    For those who would defend B&N by saying that it's the publisher's fault -- which is partly true -- please ask yourself if B&N is such a huge (largest?) bookseller, why doesn't the company put pressure on publishers to make eBooks available at the same time as the other versions of the hardback book -- such as MP3, large-print, CDs, etc.?

    If B&N (which would most likely be joined by Amazon) told publishers that they would withhold new releases until the eBook is also available, publishers would no doubt make eBook releases a priority.

    There's no doubt that an eBook version will, at some point, be available -- and probably at a price equal to or exceeding the price of a paperback or even a hardback edition of this fan-favorite series.

    Until retailers provide parity to ALL readers, Nook and Kindle owners need to warn prospective purchasers to hold on to their money. Perhaps when eBook reader sales tumble retailers will get the message that eBook readers are worthless when it comes to reading the latest releases.
