Description
FBI agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock return in a pulse-pounding new thriller from #1New York Times–bestselling author Catherine Coulter. In Washington, D.C., Venus Rasmussen, a very wealthy, elderly grand dame of Beltway high society, is in fear for her life, sure that someone is trying to kill her. Is it a desperate family member? Or the killer from her dark past? Either way, the suspects are many and the repercussions dire—and Savich and Sherlock must race to find out if she’s really in danger—or just delusional. Her two offspring, their children, and assorted family black sheep have always been after her money, but Venus has always been generous—so why, at age eighty-six, are they trying to kill her, by both poison and gun? And in Los Angeles, a serial killer is on the loose, already having killed six young actresses and stolen their computers. Savich assigns Special Agent Cam Wittier to run the case, in part because she’s the daughter of two veteran character actresses living in the Colony in Malibu, the scene of one of the murders. Cam knows show business, and she knows how things work in the Colony, so she’s perfect for the job. Before long, Cam the hunter becomes the hunted when the killer targets her. Can Cam stop him, before it’s too late?

Publisher's Weekly Review
Two complex cases propel bestseller Coulter's absorbing 20th FBI thriller featuring married FBI agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock (after 2015's Nemesis). In Washington, D.C., businesswoman Venus Rasmussen, who still runs Rasmussen Industries at age 86, believes that it isn't just her old-lady stomach the third time she suffers from food poisoning. She's certain, as she tells Savich, that someone close to her wants her dead. No one is above suspicion as Savich and Sherlock investigate Venus's family members and her staff. Meanwhile, a serial killer out of Los Angeles breaks pattern and murders a young actress in Las Vegas, Nev. The MO is identical to four previous murders of young and up-and-coming Hollywood actresses. Savich dispatches agent Cam Wittier, who's highly recommended by Sherlock, to L.A. to assist the local police. As the body count rises, Cam desperately searches for links among the victims and a motive. Coulter keeps the two plot lines equally engaging-and the reader guessing-all the way to the satisfying resolution of each. Agent: Robert Gottlieb, Trident Media Group. (Aug.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

Even as FBI agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock try to figure out whether wealthy Beltway society maven Venus Rasmussen is justified in fearing for her life or suffering from the delusions of old age, Special Agent Cam Wittier chases a serial killer in Los Angeles. Nemesis, the last book in this series, debuted at No. 5 on the New York Times best sellers list.
