Review—Double Take by Catherine Coulter
Catherine Coulter wrote Double Take. The Putnam Publishing Group published the novel in June 2007 by the book and has 432 pages.
Savich and Sherlock are into the fray again, this time in the beautiful city of San Francisco. These FBI agents are made curious after there is a report from a local agent regarding his rescue of a woman who was once the top suspect in the murder of her husband. August Ransom, a renowned psychic, was viciously murdered and his wife Julia is now in danger. Federal agent Cheney has rescued her after being dropped into the frigid bay. Through his contacts, Savich and Sherlock, Cheney is able to see to her protection on local and federal levels in addition to finding a new focus for the perpetrator of the attempt on her life and her husband’s murderer. Through Savich’s sophisticated computer program, MAX, they are able to determine the identity of the man who tried to kill Julia, and seems intent on completing his mission.
While this is occurring in the city by the bay, another mystery arises with another couple of friends and colleagues of Savich and Sherlock, this time it is a mystery surrounding doppelgangers. Dix lost his wife, Christie, over three years ago and her disappearance has left many wondering just what had happened to her. Dix moved on to a relationship with Ruth, another FBI agent; she has filled the void left by a missing wife. Now his father-in-law has had reports that Christie has been seen and this is reported by someone who knew her well. The city she was spotted in is San Francisco. Dix has gone to the city and new issues arise that lead the whole group to try and solve the conundrums of attempted murders, murdered psychics, lost wives or not, and people in high-powered positions with connections.
Catherine Coulter has again written a fast-paced and intriguing novel with enjoyable characters and entertaining plot twists. This novel is part of a series of novels that involve FBI agents and usually Savich and Sherlock are in the mix. Through compelling action and rich personalities, the novel is a quick and enjoyable read.
