The FBI thrillers ELEVENTH HOUR and BLIND SIDE, together for the first time in one volume.
A one-two punch of riveting suspense as two bestselling FBI thrillers showcase agents Savich and Sherlock at their very best.
Outdoing herself with each FBI thriller that she writes, Catherine Coulter has been hailed as “a one-of-a-kind author who knows how to hook her readers and keep them coming back for more” (The Best Reviews).
Eleventh Hour (originally published August 2002 in hardcover by Putnam and July 2003 in mass market paperback by Jove Books)
In this “fast-paced” (Booklist) novel, agents Lacey Sherlock and Dillon Savich take a personal interest in an investigation when a fellow agent’s twin brother—a priest—is brutally murdered in his San Francisco church.
Blind Side (originally published August 2003 in hardcover by Putnam and July 2004 in mass market paperback by Jove Books)
“Twisted villains...[and] intriguing escapism” (Lansing [MI] State Journal) lure readers into a case that pits Sherlock and Savich against a charismatic evangelist and his wife, who are involved in the kidnapping of a six-year-old boy.
Catherine Coulter is the author of 65 novels, including 59 New York Times bestsellers. She earned her reputation writing historical romances. Over a decade ago she added suspense thrillers to her repertoire—with great success. The Cove, the first book in her bestselling "FBI Suspense Thriller Series" spent nine weeks on the New York Times list and has to date sold almost 2 million copies. The Maze, which was reviewed in Publisher’s Weekly as "gripping enough to establish Coulter firmly in this genre," was Coulter’s first book to land on the Times hardcover bestsellers list. Since then, she has lived up to that promise with ten additional back-to-back bestselling FBI thrillers, including The Target, The Edge, Riptide, Hemlock Bay, Eleventh Hour, Blindside, Blowout, Point Blank, Double Take, Tailspin, Knockout, and two omnibus editions: The Beginning and Double Jeopardy.
Coulter’s first novel, The Autumn Countess, was published at the end of 1978. She chose a Regency romance for her debut because, says Coulter, "as any published author will tell you, it’s best to limit the unknowns in a first book, and not only had I grown up reading Georgette Heyer, but I earned my M.A. degree in 19th century European History." Following The Autumn Countess, Coulter wrote six more Regency romances. In 1982 she published her first long historical, Devil’s Embrace. She has continued to write long historicals, interspersing them with hardcover contemporary novels, beginning with False Pretenses in 1988.
Coulter lives with her physician husband in Marin County, California. She grew up in a horse ranch in Texas. She graduated from the University of Texas and received her graduate degree at Boston College. Prior to becoming a full-time writer, she worked on Wall Street as a speech writer. Catherine loves to travel and ski, reads voraciously, and has a reputation for telling jokes, believing the publishing business is too crazy not to laugh.
