I've followed Dillon & Lacey (who goes by Sherlock) through all
25 books (to date) as they meet
during training at Quantico, fall in love, and get married. They work
together as a married couple FBI team (most unusual and probably would
only happen in fiction) solving crimes, and, as the series continues,
become parents to the light of their life ~ their son Sean.
With The Final Cut,
Coulter (and co-author J.T. Ellison) introduces us to what has fast become
another favorite character and series. Nicholas Drummond, American-born chief inspector at Scotland Yard, comes to America and joins Dillon & Sherlock
to solve an international crime.
Introducing Nicholas Drummond, a Brit in the FBI
An FBI Thriller
The first book in a brilliant new international thriller series starring
that 'Brit in the FBI', handsome Nicholas Drummond, a dashing 'James Bond' type.
New International Thriller Series
In The Final Cut, our favorite team of Dillon and Sherlock joins Nicholas Drummond in his
search for an international jewel thief (The Fox) who has stolen the
Koh-i-Noor diamond,
currently a centerpiece of the Queen Mother's Crown displayed at the Tower
of London. The diamond was on loan for a special exhibit at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and, while heavily guarded,
was snatched through a clever plot. Scotland Yard and the FBI combine to
chase the jewel thief from New York to Paris to recover the diamond.
We learn of the diamond's long, complicated history, which once weighed
an incredible 793 carets and was once the world's largest diamond and
how it passed from hand to hand (perhaps beginning with the great god
Krishna) ~ always coveted, but never bought or sold, only gained through
conquest.
The title 'Final Cut' refers to the last time the diamond was cut.
The diamond is real -- this story about the theft of the stone is fiction.
Blended together, the facts & fiction make a very good story.
Introducing the character Nicholas Drummond to us through a set of
favorite characters we already love is a unique and clever twist by an
author – we fans of one series are easily led to meet a new (and
delightful) permanent character. And judging by the fact that the second
and third Nicholas Drummond books have
already been published, us readers know that a new Catherine Coulter
series has now begun.
An Interview with Author Catherine Coulter
In this interview with Catherine Coulter, the author tells us how she
found her co-author, J.T. Ellison, and about how they joined up to write The Final Cut.
The Second Book in the Nicholas Drummond Series
Published in September 2014, The Lost Key is the 2nd book in the new Coulter series starring that 'Brit in the FBI', Nicholas Drummond! With help from his partner, Mike Caine, they are in an eleventh-hour race to stop a madman from finding a cache of lost World War I gold—and a weapon the world has never seen. I've already read this book as well.
Third Nicholas Drummond Book
As I write this review of the first book in the Nicholas Drummond series, I have just finished reading the third book in the series, The End Game. My original favorite characters (Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock) join Drummond, along with the CIA, the Secret Service, and Mosssad as they move to defeat remarkable enemies.
Fourth Book in the Series Starring Nicholas Drummond

19 books, Wow! That really is a long series. I bet you hated to see the Dillon & Lacey series end, even if they did introduce you to a new book series. I am just guessing here, but it sounds like I would need to start with "The Cove" to really get to know the characters well. I was just wondering if I would feel I was missing something if I started the new series first. Plus, for me, I think I would enjoy the romance part of the Dillon & Lacey team.
ReplyDeleteMouse, you wouldn't miss anything by reading the new series first as, even though Dillon & Sherlock appear in this series, they are background characters to that British 'hunk' Nicholas Drummond with the main part of the stories focused on him and what he's doing. The Dillon Savich/Lacey Sherlock series didn't end with this new series -- Catherine Coulter continues with this FBI thriller series, the latest book starring the husband/wife team being "Nemesis".
ReplyDeleteOoooh, cool! I just made the assumption that the author was transitioning to a new series. How awesome that you (we) would have two continuing series of books to read. Even better, for sure!
DeleteWell this sounds like one my mom would like - I have a pinterest board for her for book reviews, I'll have to include this one - quite the series - heck, sounds like something I would enjoy as well
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you would enjoy this series too, Barbara.
