Jan C (woeisme) | 39308 comments I've resorted to Google.

Is this Dillon Savitch?

I've never read any Catherine Coulter. I always thought she wrote romances.

Dillon is from the Coulter FBI series....Kinda fun, not heavy duty stuff....

Your turn!

message 464: by Jan C (new)

Jan C (woeisme) | 39308 comments I got a Googlw hit when I put in several clues.

Of course, I knew who I was looking for.

I will try and think up some more clues that are on point.

I love that series. Wish she'd come out with another one.

You're up.


message 473: by Jan C (new)

message 478: by Jan C (new)

Aren't we supported to list all the clues? That was my recollection of this game.


message 479: by T (new)

T (twoo) Do you mean keep building the list and repeating the prior clues? I went back to the start, looks like Scout was just providing another clue with each wrong response....but not a problem to cut & paste....

1. I'm a homicide lieutenant with the Nashville police.
2. My fiance is FBI.
3. My best childhood friend is the ME.

Clue 1: I was destined for the Diplomatic Service, but decided to join the police force instead, much to my family's dismay.

Clue 2: I have a journalist sidekick in my earlier novels, but later my colleague is named after a folk-tale animal.


message 495: by James (new)

James (lordgil) Is it Roderick Alleyn and Inspector Fox? If so the earlier sidekick is Nigel Bathgate.


message 496: by Jill H. (new)

Jill H. (bucs1960) Roderick Alleyn?

T (twoo) Anyone else got someone in mind?


message 499: by Bernie (new)

Bernie Dowling (beedeed) | 82 comments Your turn, James!
Come on, James, return the ball, can't you, once in a way?
While we are waiting for James, what play am I almost quoting in the previous sentence?


message 500: by T (new)

T (twoo) I guess James hasn't stopped back in...

Here's a new one....

1. I am a female FBI agent.
2. I lead a team of very smart but kind of odd people.
