In this stand-alone audiobook in Coulter's FBI Thriller series, narrators Saskia Maarleveld and Pete Simonelli deliver a suspense-filled weaving of stories that involve FBI agents Savich and Sherlock. In one, seven years after the disappearance of her best friend, a political reporter finds clues that involve a candidate now running for New York City's mayor. A second story involves a CIA agent with PTSD who has a secret involving espionage and betrayal. And a third work recounts the undoing of a clever serial killer. Maarleveld's soft, feathery voice becomes Mia, both when she is a student and later when she is a reporter. Maarleveld is also competent sounding and recognizable as Sherlock. Simonelli is equally engaging as Savich and the other well- differentiated male characters. A.C.P. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine

Overview
#1*New York Times*bestselling Catherine Coulter returns with a brilliant new novel in her FBI thriller series, in which agents Sherlock and Savich find themselves dealing with very powerful figures from the past who could wreak havoc in the present.
Seven years ago, Mia Briscoe was at a college frat rave with her best friend, Serena, when a fire broke out. Everyone was accounted for except Serena, who was never seen nor heard from again. Now an investigative journalist covering the political scene in New York City, Mia discovers old photos taken the night of Serena's disappearance and begins to uncover a sinister string of events going all the way back to that disastrous party. Working with Sherlock, the secrets begin to unravel. But some very powerful-and very dangerous-people will do anything to keep them from learning the truth.
CIA Operative Olivia Hildebrandt is a team leader on a mission in Iran to exfiltrate a betrayed undercover operative. She's nearly killed by an exploding grenade and saved by a team member. But by the time Olivia is released from Walter Reed Hospital, that team member and a critical flash drive he was carrying have disappeared. When Olivia is attacked on her first night home, Savich suspects that the strike is a direct result of the compromised mission and the missing team member and flash drive. But what intelligence was at stake and who betrayed them?

A missing person’s case kicks off bestseller Coulter’s nail-biting 25th FBI thriller (after 2020’s Deadlock). Journalist Mia Briscoe has never forgotten her college friend Serena, who disappeared at a rave seven years earlier. When another college friend contacts Mia after discovering photos of the rave on an old phone, Mia turns to FBI agent Lacey Sherlock for help in finding Serena. The stakes rise when it appears that one of the men at the rave was a blue-blooded politician whose race for New York City mayor Mia happens to be covering. Meanwhile, Lacey’s FBI agent husband, Dillon Savich, is looking into an attack on a CIA agent and how it might be linked to the disappearance of another CIA agent and the flash drive he got from an operative who was killed in Iran. The danger intensifies for Savich and Sherlock as they get closer to uncovering the answers to their respective investigations. Coulter does her usual fine job of building suspense by shifting between the parallel narratives. This long-running thriller series shows no sign of losing steam. Agent: Robert Gottlieb, Trident Media Group. (Aug.)

The FBI and the CIA tangle as a cold case heats up.
Manhattan-based reporter Mia Briscoe can never forget her best friend, Serena Winters, who vanished from a fraternity rave seven years earlier. Even though Serena’s boyfriend’s father was an FBI agent, no trace of her was ever found, and Mia continues to think she was raped and murdered by someone at the party. When she’s given the job of covering the mayoral campaign of Alexander Talbot Harrington, a wealthy Bostonian with an equally ambitious fiancee, Mia never suspects that the job will be connected to Serena’s disappearance. In Washington, FBI Agent Savich takes on the case of CIA agent Olivia Hildebrandt, recently released from the hospital after a mission gone wrong, who killed one of the two men trying to kidnap or kill her. Olivia's teammate and lover, Mike Kingman, escaped Iran with a flash drive and is in hiding. Both of them are certain that they were betrayed by someone inside the agency. Fighting off attempts by the CIA to keep the case to itself, Savich moves Olivia to a safe house. Savich’s wife, the talented FBI agent Sherlock, is sent to New York to help with a tricky case and becomes involved in Mia’s quest, which has blossomed after a friend sends old pictures taken at the fraternity party that lead to a shocking and dangerous discovery.
Coulter’s patented two-case structure serves her well despite the absence of any heightened sense of danger.
