Harriet's Full Review: Catherine Coulter - Riptide
Riptide
Catherine Coulter
Putnam, July 2000
Some spies prefer to never come out of the cold, but thinking about secret agents would never enter the mind of speechwriter Rebecca Matlock. Espionage belongs in movies and books to her. That changes when her father, who she thought died when she was a child, surfaces with a deadly enemy after him and now her. Working for the Governor of New York, Rebecca begins to receive threatening calls from a person demanding she end her affair with her boss. Not having an affair and a bit frightened, Rebecca turns to the Albany police, who discount her story.
She leaves the state capital to stay with her dying mother in the Big Apple where she receives another call. Not long after, someone is killed outside her window. The police treat Rebecca as the suspect.
After her mother passes away, Rebecca goes into hiding using a new identity and changing her looks. She resides in Riptide, Maine, but her stalker follows. So does Adam Carruthers, a security expert who is close to Rebecca's father. Her foe kills a woman in Riptide and abducts Rebecca. Everyone involved knows that they must work quickly to stop a rogue deep cover agent from assassinating the Matlocks.
New York Times best-selling author Catherine Coulter returns with her best romantic suspense work to date. Any readers familiar with the author's previous books (The Cove, The Maze, and The Edge) will recognize the secondary characters populating Riptide. Her current fare is loaded with action and a cast that leaves an indelible impression on the audience. The numerous subplots are complex, but fit into the bigger puzzle. No doubt Ms. Coulter is heading back to familiar territory of best seller lists with this delightful thriller.
