Backfire by Catherine Coulter
The federal judge, Ramsey has been shot on his lawn on Seacliff, San Francisco. Agents on the east coast have been threatened
and Savage and Sherlock are heading to the west coast as they are family. Male and female feds are a rarity but they work well together.
The judges wife, Molly has children, one who is a musical prodigy, Emma. cal and Gage are the boys.
The feds follow clues the judge has told them about. More attempts on the judges life while he's being transported to a private room at the hospital.
Lots of action and killings and find the clues fascinating as they lead to other things...
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

Eh, mediocre crime novel. Took awhile to get into and not all that interesting a payoff.

Catherine Coulter is one of my favorite thriller authors, and I absolutely love this one, where a famous and well-loved judge in San Francisco is shot in an attempted murder, and Savich and Sherlock get to fly out there to try to solve the case. I love it when an author is really great at describing a setting because it’s like getting to take a vacation there as you read, and Coulter really immerses you in the Bay Area as you’re following the case. I love these thrillers and the way information is slowly revealed as we figure out who exactly wants the judge killed, and why. This was one of the more complex and intricate mysteries so far, and I really enjoyed it!

San Francisco Judge Ramsey Hunt, longtime friend to FBI agents Lacey Sherlock and Dillon Savich, is presiding over the trial of Clive and Cindy Cahill - accused in a string of murders - when the proceedings take a radical turn. Federal prosecutor Mickey O'Rourke, known for his relentless style, becomes suddenly tentative in his opening statement, leading Hunt to suspect he's been threatened - suspicions that are all but confirmed when Hunt is shot in the back. Savich and Sherlock receive news of the attack as an ominous note is sent to Savich at the Hoover Building: You deserve this for what you did. Security tapes fail to reveal who delivered the note. Who is behind the shooting of Judge Ramsey Hunt? Who sent the note to Savich? And what does it all mean? Savich and Sherlock race to San Francisco to find out. . . watching their backs all the while.
Wonderful book. On to the last one in the series right now which is Bombshell
