Review—Knock Out by Catherine Coulter
Catherine Coulter wrote the novel Knock Out. Putnam Adult published the book in June 2009; the novel has 432 pages.
From D.C. to the backwoods in Georgia, FBI agents, Dillon Savich and Sherlock are on the trail of bad guys again. In Georgetown, while doing some banking, Dillon finds himself in the middle of a bank robbery by a gang that has been terrorizing the Eastern Seaboard. Crazy defines the whole situation. Shortly after Dillon heads home feeling all is under control, a little girl calls his name from far away. Autumn is her name and she is in trouble. Agent Savich may be the only one who can help her.
Between mind-control and telepathy, Autumn is being hunted. Strange family members she hardly knows, want to bring her home. They care little for those who may get in their way. They have gifts too and employ diabolical means to subdue or manipulate any level of interference. During all of this, Autumn’s skeptical mother and the sheriff who vows to protect her, find a lasting relationship, though at times it seems a no-win situation. Next, another young girl, caught as a bank robber, has escaped and is now vowing to kill Dillon and any connected to the death of her mother, who led the robbery. The agents have to jump from crime scene to crime scene just to try to stay ahead of the criminals and more importantly, to protect an unknown little girl and their very home.
Catherine Coulter has written many FBI Thrillers, with Dillon and Savich being two of her primary characters. They are front and center in this novel; their strength of character and strong marriage combine with the humor and special abilities to create consistently winning characters. This series delivers drama, murders, mayhem, and the persistent belief that good wins out over evil. A winner in these days and times.
