Product Description:
The first time she spoke to him was at midnight.
Seven-year-old Autumn Backman needed a hero. When she saw Special Agent Dillon Savich on TV after he’d brought down bank robbers in a Georgetown bank, she knew she’d found him. She called Savich, but she didn’t use the phone.
They were burying dead people in my daddy’s grave . . . they’re coming after us. Please help me.
Who’s they?
Blessed, he’s coming.
Ethan Merriweather, sheriff of Titusville, Virginia, a small mountain town near the Titus Hitch Wilderness, goes looking for a missing little girl. Soon after he finds her, Ethan realizes that Autumn has brought him a huge problem – a relentless madman who has the ability to control others simply by looking at them. And the madman is after her and her mom.
It’s Uncle Blessed, and he wants Autumn.
When Savich answers Autumn’s call, she tells him Blessed is from Bricker’s Bowl, Georgia. Savich and Sherlock go to Blessed’s home, learn about his brother, Grace, and meet their mother, Shepherd. Savich soon realizes the only way to stop Blessed is to “cut off the snake’s head.”
Back in Titusville, Ethan, Autumn, and her mother, Joanna, are forced to hide from Blessed and Grace in the wilderness. Ethan knows the brothers will never give up their insane pursuit for Autumn.
It’s a race to stop the madness, or the madness will destroy them all.

This book has been on the shelves for three weeks and is already in the remainder bins. You can buy the hardcover for $1.33 plus shipping. $14.82 for the Kindle version is unbelievable. Some listings Amazon should refuse when the authors are trying to rip off Amazon's customers.

3 1/2 Stars!
In "Knock Out; An FBI Thriller," a seven year old girl, Autumn Backman, contacts FBI Special Agent Dillon Savich after seeing a show about him on TV. She is able to contact him telepathically.
In Titusville, VA, Autumn runs away and hides in the home of Sheriff Ethan Merriweather. She tells Ethan that a man who goes by the name of Blessed is after her and her mother, Joanna. She also warns Ethan not to look into Blessed's eyes because he can control a person's thoughts once they look him in the eye.
Savich had disrupted a bank robbery and shot one of the robers as they were getting ready to kill the security guard. One inside robber escaped with the help of the person in the get away car. Savich is looking for them when Autumn contacts him again, this time she tells him that she needs his help.
We learn that Blessed is Autumn's uncle and that with his mind control ability, he wants to take her to his homestead so his family can benefit from Autumn's ability.
As Savich is attempting to help Autumn, the young robber and her cousin go to Savich's home to take revenge since Savich shot the girl's mother. However, the FBI have been watching the house and the two barely escape.
"Knock Out" is a fun read. The action never stops and the reader is caught up in the excitement. The author states that she is influenced by Agatha Christie and Michael Connelly among others; but in this novel, I see an influence of Steven King, most notably in his novel, "Firestarter."
Hop aboard for the ride. You'll enjoy it.

I loved the mental telepathy aspect of this fast-paced suspense with a little romance on the side. The back drop is in Washington, D.C., close to where I live. Interesting!! Dillon, the male protagonist, happens to be in a bank at the time of a robbery attempt, where a shootout occurs. A young 16 year old girl, Lissy, a member of the hold-up team manages to escape and vows to kill Dillon and the guard for killing her mom. This fact and a 7 year old, Autumn, with mental telepathy abilities, add fuel to the exploding excitement that keeps the reader glued to each page. This book is full of humor and wit along the way to add a little balance to the action packed suspense. .....Now to get back to MY writing.....Linda Masemore Pirrung, author of EXPLOSION IN PARIS...

I picked up Knock Out because of the editor's synopsis...the premise sounded interesting and I'm always looking for authors that I've not read; however, this book, and I'm assuming the others from this author, was a mess. The two stories were not related, there was no purpose for Dillon's role in Joanna and Amanda's story. Chapters and even paragraphs were often disjointed, with unrelated thoughts. The dialogue wasn't what one would expect if you were overhearing these conversations. It was all just very strange and frustrating. This book was poorly written. I won't be reading another Catherine Coulter book.

I was very happy with my purchase. The book I ordered came very quickly and in great condition as promised. I would order from this seller again for sure!
