Blind Side by Catherine Coulter. Published by G. P. Putnam’s Sons, July2003, 370 pages.

God’s country, a beautiful, quiet, old-fashioned town, that’s what Jessborough, Tennessee was at one time. Now, the town is beset by kidnappers and possible cultists. Sheriff Kate Benedict is driving home with her daughter Keely, when she drives into the middle of a drama involving a young boy, Sam. He has escaped from some men who will do anything to keep him. His father comes to get him, along with two of his closest friends, FBI agents Savich and Sherlock. This married couple has supported him through the loss of his son, and they have come with him to get him back. Miles Kettering, an ex-FBI agent is Sam’s father.

Two maniacs, driven by some unknown force, continue to try and get Sam back, seemingly regardless of the obstacles the sheriff and FBI have put in their path.

There seems to be no method to their madness, and that’s just what it seems to be throughout out this book. Madness from the kidnappers to the leader of some backwoods religious sect. And, just wait to see what this leader sees as his calling and what it entails.

This is the eighth book in the FBI series by author Catherine Coulter, and once again agents Savich and Sherlock are in the middle of things and this time it also includes a possible serial killer of math teachers. This novel shows how in touch the author is with her characters. The actions, emotions and mayhem these people deal with show their strength of character and their ability to utilize a sense of humor in the face of just about any eventuality. This book is another winner in a series of very entertaining novels filled with admirable characters, leaving you to wonder what Savich and Sherlock will be involved in next as they manage their careers (and all the evil that includes) and keep their family safe.
