The Final Cut by Catherine CoulterMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Fox has stolen the main jewel out of the Queen Mother's Crown. Bad enough for the Brits but not so good for the Yanks either, since it and the rest of the Crown Jewels were on loan to NYC's Met and one of the British MI6 operatives, sent to protect them, has been murdered and seems to be involved in the theft. The FBI moves in immediately to investigate, with Special Agent Michaela Caine prominent on the team. Hot shot nobleman, DCI Nicholas Hammond from MI 6 impetuously flies immediately to NYC where his Uncle is a former FBI SAC. Hammond's mother is American and he was born in the States. With these connections and his former service in the Foreign Service as a spy, Nicholas has no problem getting involved in the investigation. He also is a top class hacker--some good talents--and isn't as strictly bound by FBI protocols,which gives him a bit more leeway in his methods. As he and Mike travel around the globe trying to pinpoint the Fox and her client the car chases, physical brawls and gunfights abound and the tension builds until the final confrontation and solution. A page turner read over two days--exciting and looking forward to more crime solving as Nick trains in Quantico and joins the FBI as the first Brit Agent.
