Publisher's summary

"A thriller packed with nonstop action, real-life name-dropping and enough cutting-edge science to make you wonder how much of it could be true." —Kirkus Reviews

The second entry in the sizzling international thriller series featuring Nicholas Drummond, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Catherine Coulter.

Freshly minted FBI agent Nicholas Drummond is barely out of his Quantico training when he and his partner, Mike Caine, are called to investigate a stabbing on Wall Street.

Their investigation, however, yields more questions than answers. It quickly becomes clear that the victim, John Pearce, was more than the naval historian and antiquities dealer he appeared to be. What Drummond doesn’t know is that buying and selling rare books was Pearce’s cover, and that he had devoted his life to discovering the whereabouts of a missing World War I U-boat concealing a stash of gold bullion, and an unexpected surprise that only raises more questions. When Drummond and Caine find both of Pearce’s adult children have disappeared, the case assumes a new sense of urgency. The FBI agents know their best lead lies in the victim’s cryptic final words—“The key is in the lock.” But what key? What lock?

The search for Adam and Sophia Pearce takes them on an international manhunt, which threatens to run them afoul of an eccentric billionaire industrialist with his own plans not only for the lost gold, but the creation of a weapon unlike anything the world has ever seen.

Slow start but eventually good

It took me quite a while to get into the book but eventually it started to all come together. You will need to be very patient to get there (like 2-3 hours in).

Loved the Lost Key

Great story, makes m want togoback and read history! Love all the characters. But boy oh boy was the villain kinky!!

Couldn’t stop listening

Plot was exciting. Didn’t want it to end. Relationship between Mike and Drummond fantastic. Can’t wait to start the next one

Great Performance

The multi-voice performance of this book really added to the storyline. The book was well written and the pace of the book was quick with a lot of action. A very enjoyable read.

❤️❤️❤️

Loved it! This had just as much action, and danger as book one had. I like how they had the Inspector from book one in this one, and I like the relationship between Nicholas and Mike they seem to be getting a little closer.

Loved it!

Really liked the story although it has darker characters than the first book. Can't wait for the next book to come out.

I like this series. Great reader, moves quickly, Clean

I prefer this series slightly over Coulter’s FBI Savich & Sherlock but both are fun. Final Key is well written, fast moving, with strong characters & great dialogue, up-beat, mostly believable, a Clean Action/Adventure novel. Not too Silly. IMO appropriate for YA readers who like Action-Adventure and are looking for older content.

Sadistic cruelty

Sometimes the cruelty and violence got overwhelming and I would have to put it down so to speak and then come back to it.

Wimp

Very interesting; Enjoyed it. Would recommend it to my friends. Look forward to the sequel. Narration was up to par.

Another good story

The plots of this series of stories always keeps me engaged. Usually the villan can be figured out but there are still twist and turns to keep the reader involved. I like Mike and Nicolas' relationship but would love a little romance . If Dillon and Savich can make it work, these two should be able to also. The women may have not handled situations like I might have but there were no really " to stupid to live" moments. Male narration was great. Mike's voice bugged me some. it is like she has a lisp or something. I wish that narrator would change. i look forward to next book in the series.
