Library Journal Review: Starred Review. Coulter (Point Blank) will delight her fans with her latest FBI thriller, which begins with Special Agent Cheney Stone saving wealthy widow Julia Ransom from being drowned in San Francisco Bay. As their relationship develops, Julia continues to be the target of a murderer, and Cheney serves as her protector. In an equally captivating subplot, Virginia Sheriff Dixon Noble receives information that a certain woman in San Francisco is a dead ringer for his wife, Christie, missing for more than three years. With the help of FBI Unit Chief Dillon Savich, Dix travels to San Francisco to meet this woman, Charlotte Pollack, and is amazed at the resemblance. But still more disconcerting is that Charlotte is wearing a bracelet almost identical to one he bought Christie years earlier. As the two plot lines creatively merge for intense mystery and suspense, romance sizzles between Julia and Cheney. But can Julia survive the efforts of a determined murderer to build a new life with Cheney? Coulter, one of the best romantic suspense authors, is in top form, providing readers with pulse-pounding mystery that continues until the breathless conclusion. Recommended for all public libraries.
