In this thrilling entry in #1 New York Times bestselling author Catherine Coulter’s FBI series, FBI agents Savich and Sherlock must discover who is trying to murder Venus Rasmussen, a powerful, wealthy society icon. They soon discover that the danger may be closer than expected.
Venus Rasmussen, a powerful woman who runs the international conglomerate Rasmussen Industries, believes someone is poisoning her. After Savich and Sherlock visit with her, someone attempts to shoot her in broad daylight. Who’s trying to kill her and why? A member of her rapacious family, or her grandson who’s been missing for ten years but suddenly reappears? Savich and Sherlock must peel away the layers and sift through unforeseen lies to uncover the incredible truth about who would target Venus.
Meanwhile, Special Agent Cam Wittier leaves Washington for Los Angeles to work with local Detective Daniel Montoya to lead the hunt for the Starlet Slasher, a serial killer who has cut the throats of five young actresses. When a sixth young actress is murdered, Cam comes to realize the truth might be closer than she’d ever want to believe.
With breakneck speed and unexpected twists and turns, Coulter’s Insidious will leave you breathless until the shocking conclusion.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
There’s something refreshingly old-fashioned about Catherine Coulter’s FBI Thrillers and their carefully constructed plots. In Insidious, she maps out two parallel storylines: on one coast, married agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock investigate the murder attempts on a Washington grande dame, while thousands of miles away in L.A., their colleague Cam Wittier tries to catch a serial killer preying on young actresses. We flew through, savoring the glimpses into two very different worlds of glamour and sordid deception.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
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.
