Catherine Coulter has written a truly suspenseful romance in this story of Sally Brainerd, hiding in a small town from the enemies who killed her father, and FBI agent James Quinlan, who believes she's the key to the murder he's trying to solve. Sally thinks she'll be safe in The Cove--but will she?
From Publishers Weekly
"So perfect, like a Hollywood set," FBI agent James Quinlan thinks as he enters The Cove, a seemingly tranquil, picture-postcard town situated on the Oregon coast. Quinlan has been on Sally Brainerd's trail since her arms-dealing father, Amory St. John, was murdered. Sally is the key witness, and it's Quinlan's job to bring her in. Quinlan, whose cover is working as a PI hired to find an old couple who had mysteriously disappeared three years earlier, quickly learns that when he starts asking questions, bad things start happening. Coulter (The Nightingale Legacy), whose contemporary suspense novels are, unfortunately, few and far between, delivers a fast-paced, solidly structured read despite the occasionally cartoonish characters.

Cove FROM OUR EDITORS
The Barnes & Noble Review
Secrets, surprises, and suspense are the hallmarks of the novels in Catherine Coulter's bestselling FBI series of contemporary suspense-thrillers. That's been true ever since the first volume, The Cove, came out in paperback in 1996 and wowed readers with the chilling story of a woman on the run who takes refuge in a picture-perfect town on the Oregon coast. When the quaint little town turns out to be not as idyllic as it seems, Sally Brainerd must rely on an unexpected ally: the undercover FBI agent assigned to pursue her, James Quinlan. The dramatic story that unfolds is one of murder, deception, betrayal, and unforeseen love -- in a town that's famous for its ice cream. Now this landmark volume is being released for the first time in a hardcover edition that will delight every Coulter fan. Sue Stone
