Publisher's Summary:
The newest entry in the sizzling international thriller series featuring Nicholas Drummond, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Catherine Coulter.
Freshly minted FBI agent Nicholas Drummond is barely out of his Quantico training when he and his partner, Mike Caine, are called to investigate a stabbing on Wall Street.
Their investigation, however, yields more questions than answers. It quickly becomes clear that the victim, John Pearce, was more than the naval historian and antiquities dealer he appeared to be. What Drummond doesnt know is that buying and selling rare books was Pearces cover, and that he had devoted his life to discovering the whereabouts of a missing World War I U-boat concealing a stash of gold bullion, and an unexpected surprise that only raises more questions. When Drummond and Caine find both of Pearces adult children have disappeared, the case assumes a new sense of urgency. The FBI agents know their best lead lies in the victims cryptic final words - The key is in the lock. But what key? What lock?
The search for Adam and Sophia Pearce takes them on an international manhunt, which threatens to run them afoul of an eccentric billionaire industrialist with his own plans not only for the lost gold, but the creation of a weapon unlike anything the world has ever seen.

Full of History and Suspense
Another incredible story from Catherine Coulter! The new collaboration of Nicholas and Michaela seems to be heading into the realm of Sherlock and Savich, they are evenly matched and work so well together!
This story is a fictional account of Madame Currie and her work with dangerous substances, and a fictitious group of people who were trying to keep the world away from war and the destruction of the world. I have often wondered if such a group really does exist, but if so, it's not been doing such a great job.
We are getting to see more about what makes up Nicholas' psyche, like his claustrophobia, fear of tight spaces, and his clever hacking abilities. Michaela, .Mike for short, already cares a great deal for Nick, as he does for her as well. We'll see how long it will take for the two of them to become a couple, besides being partners.
I love this book, and am sure I'll be reading it again in the future.
A welcome addition - Nicholas Drummond
I`m very happy that the Nicholas Drummond character is going to be a continuing part of this long standing series. It was clear in the book that introduced him that Nicholas is a different type of protagonist than Dillon Savitch. While both are computer geniuses, there's a much harder edge in Nicholas - the kind that exists in military snipers and covert operatives. People who do the jobs that the majority of us don't want to acknowledge as real. Both Savitch and Drummond regret the act of killing, but Drummond doesn't hesitate to use his hands, face to face, - a different mindset than a gun. This story is a cross between James Bond and the F.B.I. It's action oriented, informative (if taken with a grain of salt) and an easy read. The reason I've given it four stars - ironically, while the authors have succeeded in differentiating Drummond from Savitch, they've simply duplicated Sherlock in Michaela Caine.
