Publisher's Summary
San Francisco judge Ramsey Hunt, longtime friend to FBI agents Lacey Sherlock and Dillon Savich, begins the murder trial of Clive and Cindy Cahill only to have federal prosecutor Mickey O’Rourke, known for his relentless, aggressive style, suddenly turn tentative and distracted. Hunt suspects that something is very wrong — and then O’Rourke goes missing, and Judge Hunt gets shot in the back.
Savich and Sherlock receive news of the attack as a mysterious note is delivered to Savich at the Hoover Building: FOR WHAT YOU DID YOU DESERVE THIS. Who sent the note? What does it mean?
As Ramsey Hunt’s life hangs in the balance, Savich and Sherlock race to San Francisco to answer the question: Why would anyone shoot the judge? When they discover one answer, more questions arise, until Savich and Sherlock face the final shock.

"Still great at 16."
I have read all of her books from the romantic novels to the fbi series. All of her books are fabulous and I love that she writes continuos stories because you fall in love with the characters. Was glad to see The Judge, Emma and Molly back. This is a must read.

"A Tale Between"
If you could sum up Backfire in three words, what would they be?It was an interesting twist bring a past and present together. I did like it better than Split Second. The children in the book bought some life into the story. .
Any additional comments?It is not a bad story line it did bring you up to date on other characters in a previous book (Target).

"Meh."
What did you like best about Backfire? What did you like least?The story was one that brought you back to old characters and old friends. Lots of very corny "cop talk".
Would you be willing to try another book from Catherine Coulter? Why or why not?Maybe
If this book were a movie would you go see it?Nope

"Hideous narration"
Especially the adults trying to do baby voices - couldn't be worse. I won't finish the book for that reason. I just can't listen to this.

"THE WORST NARRATION I HAVE VER HEARD"
What disappointed you about Backfire?THE NARRATION ON BACK FIRE MAKES YOU WANT TO GRAB YOUR I POD AND THROW IT OUT THE WINDOW. I LISTEN TO TONS OF BOOKS BUT THIS IS PERHAPS THE WORST NARRATED BOOK THAT I HAVE EVER PURCHASED. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A BOOK WITH THIS INDIVIDUAL DOING THE READING. THIS WAS A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY
Would you be willing to try another one of Jim Meskimen and Deanna Hurst ’s performances?ABSOLUTELY NOT
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Backfire?CUT THE HORRIBLE BABBY TALK OUT OF THE BOOK. IT SOUNDS TERRIBLE
Any additional comments?DO NOT BY THIS BOOK IT IS TERRIBLE

"two narrators ruined this for me"
The decision to have two narrators -- one male, one female -- read this book seems to me a bad production call. The guy says something, then the woman reader interjects (in her simpering delivery) "...he said. Then he sighed..." and the guy continues to read the male part. The material seems trite enough to begin with, but this tradeoff between dueling narrators -- in the course of a single *sentence* for crying out loud -- made this unlistenable for me. I remember enjoying several of Catherine Coulter's earlier novels so I gave this one a try. Maybe if it had been more professionally produced I would have liked this one too. But I'll never know. I deleted it after 30 minutes of "...he said..." alternate-reader interruptions.
