Product Description
The police are convinced that Julia Ransom was guilty of the brutal murder of her husband, renowned psychic August Ransom. But after six months of investigation and media frenzy, she is free of their scrutiny, because of the lack of evidence. One afternoon she walks from her Pacific Heights home to Fishermans Wharf, alone, unwatched - and, she realizes, happy. Standing at the railing on Pier 39, she savors the sounds around her - tourists, countless seals on the barges - and for a moment enjoys the sheer normalcy of it all.
It suddenly comes to an end when a respectable-looking man distracts her with conversation before striking her unconscious and heaving her over the railing into San Francisco Bay. If it werent for Special Agent Cheney Stone, Julia wouldve drown. Cheney quickly realizes the attempt on Julias life has to connect to the murder of her husband, and reopens the investigation with the SFPD.
Meanwhile, in Maestro, Virginia, Sheriff Dixon Noble - last seen in Point Blank - learns about a woman named Charlotte Pallack, whose extraordinary resemblance to his vanished wife, Christie, gone for three years, sends him across the country. Although in his heart he knows that this woman cant possibly be his missing wife, Dix is compelled to see her with his own eyes.
In San Francisco, Dixs and Cheneys paths cross, brought together by FBI Special Agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock. All four begin to unlock the mystery behind Charlotte Pallacks identity, as well as the forces behind Julia Ransoms attempted murder and the vicious murder of her husband.
The most fascinating aspect of the case is the extraordinary cast of psychics they meet as they push deep into the intriguing and complex world of visions, mind benders, and communications to the dead.
As the stakes and the body count rise, Savich, Sherlock, Dix, and Cheney fight for answers - and their lives.

New Fan of FBI Series August 6, 2008
I haven't been able to find an author that grabs me for some time...believe me, I have been looking and have many unfinished novels on my shelf. I was waiting for a plane two weeks ago and saw her latest on the best sellers shelf and decided to look at other books by this author. Long story short...read two from the FBI series in a week and have ordered four more today. Ms. Coulter is a fabulous writer and really knows how to draw one in and keep them reading and reading. I am not a romance novel reader so hope she keeps with the FBI series. Enjoy!
FBI Thriller July 27, 2008
I am a huge fan of Catherine Coulter, so I was not surprised to find that I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I was on the edge of my seat throughout. This would be a great story for the movies. Mary Higgins Clark has nothing on Catherine Coulter.
 Don't do a double take on this book! July 20, 2008
I haven't ever read one of Ms. Coulter's books until Double Take and I will never read another one. The dialogue is contrived and poorly written. The plot is ridiculous. It reads like a 4th grade student's mystery. There are many other mystery writers who are more worthy of a reader's time and money.
 Double Take July 16, 2008
If you've read the other 10 FBI books this one is a must. As with the others it hooks you from the start. Can hardly wait to get book 12.
 Lacks Vitality - Double Take July 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was disappointed in Double Take #11. It lacks the usual repartee between Julia and Cheney; yet they jump into bed and want to get married. No psychic abilities were attributed to either one; but lots of gazing out the windows; none of the gut clenching as the protagonists are stalked. The solution to Dix's missing wife (#10) wasn't clearly detailed - just accomplished in time for a funeral back in Maetro.
Perhaps this is just a "filler" book as she gets back to serious FBI writing. Hey, everyone needs a vacation now and then! I'm so hooked, I'm still impatiently awaiting her next installment.
