About Catherine Coulter and J. T. Ellison - A Brit in the FBI Series: The Final Cut, The Lost Key, The End Game (Unabridged)

THE FINAL CUT Scotland Yard's Chief Inspector Nicholas Drummond boards the first flight to New York when he learns that his colleague Inspector Elaine York, the minder of the crown jewels for the Jewel of the Lion exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, has been found murdered. Then the centerpiece of the exhibit, the infamous Koh-i-Noor diamond, is stolen from the Queen Mother's crown. Drummond, American-born but raised in the UK, is tough, dangerous, a fast-rising star in the Yard who never backs down. And this case is no exception. He's all for crown and country - but it's York's murder that draws him to the United States. Special Agents Lacey Sherlock and Dillon Savich, listener favorites from Coulter's bestselling FBI series, join Drummond in his search for the cunning international thief known as the Fox. As the chase ricochets around the globe, the stakes intensify - and grow deadlier. The Fox will stop at nothing to deliver the Koh-i-Noor to the man who believes in its deadly prophecy. Nicholas Drummond, along with his partner, FBI Special Agent Mike Caine, lay it on the line to retrieve the Koh-i-Noor and live to tell about it. THE LOST KEY In his first hour on the job in the New York field office, freshly minted FBI agent Nicholas Drummond and his partner, Mike Caine, are called to investigate a stabbing on Wall Street. They quickly learn that the victim, John Pearce, is more than the naval historian and antiquities dealer he appeared to be. He's known as The Messenger, but that's where the trail ends. Drummond and Caine must navigate their way through a labyrinth of deadly secrets dating back to an incredible theft during World War I. They're up against a brilliant madman, Manfred Havelock, who will do anything to retrieve what's been lost for nearly a century. Only one person, Pearce's nineteen-year-old son, Adam, a gifted hacker, knows where to look. And he's gone missing. John Pearce's cryptic dying words - "The key is in the lock" - set into motion an eleventh-hour race to solve the riddle of what key, and what lock, with Havelock one step ahead of Drummond and Caine, leaving mayhem and death in his wake. They must find Adam and stop Havelock before he changes the world forever. THE END GAME FBI agent Nicholas Drummond and his partner, Mike Caine, are deep into an investigation of COE - Celebrants of the Earth - a violent group known for widespread bombings of power grids and oil refineries across the country. While investigating a tip from a civilian who's overheard about a possible bombing plot, the Bayway Refinery in New Jersey explodes. Nicholas and Mike race to the scene and barely escape being killed by a secondary device. Returning to the tipster's home to continue their interrogation, they discover the man - and the FBI team left to guard him - dead.
