After receiving a cryptic message from an anonymous author, Dillon Savich was taken by surprise when a call came in about a friend on the other side of the country getting shot. Heading out to San Francisco, Savich and wife Lacey Sherlock were glad for a reason to get away. After everything that Judge Ramsey Hunt and his family had been through in the past, Savich and Sherlock wanted to be there to help find who had done this to him. With the combined efforts of San Francisco FBI Agent Harry Christoff, US Deputy Marshal Eve Barbieri and several of SFPD officers for protection, they had the team together to track down the person responsible for shooting Judge Dredd and the disappearance of the Federal Prosecutor. Following all the leads was one thing, but getting shot had not been part of the plan for any of them, getting through all that could lead to more than one kind of break through.

Book 16 ….. After so many books in this FBI series, I have not lost interest. Usually there is at least 2 story lines, or cases in the book going on simultaneously, this one seems to concentrate on one at a time. Revisiting past characters like Judge Ramsey Hunt is so much fun for me. It does help having read the previous books, but it gives enough of a background to the situation that it could be read as a stand alone for some people (just not me). The added romances is so subtle in this one, it seems to be an after thought that was just stuck in as one or two sentences. This one is action packed with on going crimes and fights. Back Fire is a good suspenseful addition to the FBI series. Really hope that Catherine Coulter has a few more of these Savich and Sherlock stories to go.
