Product Description
From the #1 bestselling author, a stunning new novel of secrets, mayhem, and murder.
FBI Special Agent Jackson Crowne is flying his Cessna over the Appalachians, with a very important passenger: renowned psychiatrist Dr. Timothy MacLean; their destination is Washington, D.C. Upon their arrival, the FBI will protect the doctorand ascertain just who wants him dead.
But they dont make it.
In San Francisco, married FBI Special Agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock take an early morning phone call from their supervisor, Jimmy Maitland. Maitland received a Mayday from Jackson in the mountains near Parlow, Kentucky, and sends Savich and Sherlock to see whats happened.
Agent Crowne is able to bring his plane down in a narrow valley and haul the unconscious Dr. MacLean from the burning wreckage before it explodes. Their crash is witnessed by Rachael Abbott, a young woman on the run after the mysterious death of her father. When Savich and Sherlock arrive on the scene, they find Jackson and Rachael in the Parlow clinic and Dr. MacLean comatose in the local hospital, prognosis unknown. What they do know frightens them: Dr. MacLean was recently diagnosed with frontal lobe dementia, and in the months prior to the crash his behavior had become erratic and alarmingly uninhibited, his ability to maintain doctor-patient confidentiality badly compromised. With a patient list made up of Washington movers and shakers, MacLeans role as a keeper of secrets is jeopardized as well. Is there someone out there so desperate that theyd kill the doctor for what he knows? It is up to Jackson, Savich, and Sherlock to find outno matter the cost.

 As always .. THE Best! July 25, 2008
Catherine Coulter is, and always has been, one of my favorite authors. I wait on pins and needles until her next FBI Thriller comes out, and Tailspin doesn't disappoint! Great read! Couldn't put it down!
 Reader Beware July 24, 2008
This book is a disaster! The flyleaf gave just enough hype to make a buyer of me -- big mistake! Makes you wonder who is reviewing these volumes - besides the publisher who has a stake in the outcome.
Little to nothing holds true to the story -- terrible dialogue, silly sidelines, plot breakdown, incorrect geographic references, less than believable character behaviour -- the list goes on and on. How on earth does a book like this actually get a publisher?! Save your bucks, guys and stick with John Grisham, Vince Flynn and Alan Folsom - and the several others of their ilk!
Another great Savich/Sherlock FBI thriller July 24, 2008
I loved this book. It was a page turner and kept me very interested in every word written. I always enjoy Catherine Coulter's books and this was no exception. The great dialog between the married FBI agents is the best. Throw in a few more characters, a bit of an FBI plot, some mystery and "who done it" intrigue and you have a great story that is fun and exciting to read. If you like her books and her "people", you'll love this book.
Enjoy----a perfect summer beach read.
Catherine out does herself July 22, 2008
I have read all her fbi series and find that the new book out does the others if that is possible . She is just great
 FBI Thriller, NO 12 July 22, 2008
I have read the entire FBI series and eagerly awaited Tailspin. As usual Savitch and Sherlock were superb and the storyline was good. However, I thought the story drug in places and for some reason I couldn't get into Rachael's character. There were no surprises to me. I early on figured on who was after Rachael and I also guessed early on what some indicate as a surprise at the end. I liked Jackson's character but Rachael at times seemed sort of smart mouth and you had the idea she didn't need the FBI; like she was going to take on any of the bad guys. At one point Jackson is concerned about her carrying a gun and she tells him to shut up-she can probably shoot better than him. Well he was in some special forces and then FBI and that was unlikely as was her getting out of the water after she had been tied up and a cement block tied to her. Okay it's fiction and though I rolled my eyes, I'll buy that for the sake of the story. She bothered me more when she was so lippy.
I got a little bored with all the conversations over the same thing. There is one whole chapter with Rachael walking aorund Jackson's apartment describing the walls, the floors, the decor and going through everything again. I found myself skimming some of the book and in fact put it down several times which I seldom do with one of the FBI series. IT seemed like it would flow along and then drag for awhile. It's not bad and there have been others in the series I have liked better than others. IF there is a 13th book in the series I would no doubt read it. I like Savitch and Sherlock enough to keep reading.
I appreciate the fact that CC doesn't have a lot of profanity in her books and explicit sexual situations. These aren't really romance but more thrillers. The only really sexual scene was between Savich and Sherlock which was kind of cute actually.
Though this wasn't my favorite of the series, it still had its moments and if you've read the rest of the series you will want to read this one.
