FBI Special Agent Jackson Crowne is flying his Cessna over the Appalachians, with a very important passenger: renowned psychiatrist Dr. Timothy MacLean; their destination is Washington, D.C. Upon their arrival, the FBI will protect the doctorand ascertain just who wants him dead. But they dont make it. In San Francisco, married FBI Special Agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock take an early morning phone call from their supervisor, Jimmy Maitland. Maitland received a Mayday from Jackson in the mountains near Parlow, Kentucky, and sends Savich and Sherlock to see whats happened. Agent Crowne is able to bring his plane down in a narrow valley and haul the unconscious Dr. MacLean from the burning wreckage before it explodes. Their crash is witnessed by Rachael Abbott, a young woman on the run after the mysterious death of her father. When Savich and Sherlock arrive on the scene, they find Jackson and Rachael in the Parlow clinic and Dr. MacLean comatose in the local hospital, prognosis unknown. What they do know frightens them: Dr. MacLean was recently diagnosed with frontal lobe dementia, and in the months prior to the crash his behavior had become erratic and alarmingly uninhibited, his ability to maintain doctor-patient confidentiality badly compromised. With a patient list made up of Washington movers and shakers, MacLeans role as a keeper of secrets is jeopardized as well. Is there someone out there so desperate that theyd kill the doctor for what he knows? It is up to Jackson, Savich, and Sherlock to find outno matter the cost. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - TailspinThe worst book I've read in a long time. A totally implausible story written in a soap-opera fashion with unrealistic characters. It would appear this book was written and published hastily in order to capitalize on past successes. She and her publisher should be ashamed of themselves.TailSpin (FBI Thriller, No. 12) Rating:  - If it were half as long it might have been twice as goodI am a long time Catherine Coulter fan although I've found her books of late to be disappointing. Perhaps it's time for her to move to stand alone's as her primary characters have become tired. The dialog is very like, book to book, though not as continually cutsey as some in the recent past, "hey and but hey" over and over for instance. This story was, overall, boring and predictable, way too long, too many characters, and while I don't expect characters in a novel to necessarily be life like, it ...

Rating: - So bad...This book was so bad that I had to get out of bed after I finished reading it to write this review. The first two-thirds of the book was so slow and boring I almost put it down. Wish I had. Then, for a moment of time, it was okay. I almost cared about the characters and the outcome. Shortly thereafter, I wanted to ask the author if she considered working at Burger King because being an author certainly does not seem to be her area of expertise. Read More Rating:  - another smash hitCatherine Coulter's FBI series never disappoints me. Once again she has hit the heart of her writing talents with suspense, twists and a touch of romance. What I really like most is that she focuses on her characters and develops them well, so that when you are finished reading this book you are left with wanting more about them and eagerly waiting her next book. Savich and Sherlock are a dynamic pair and ones that you are always rooting for to crack the case. When reading Tailspin I couldn't put ... Read More
