How Brit in the FBI Began
The Brit in the FBI series was born from the powerhouse collaboration between Catherine Coulter, a #1 New York Times bestselling author known for her FBI Thriller series, and J.T. Ellison, an award-winning thriller writer. In 2012, Coulter sought a co-author to craft a fresh spin on her signature suspense, and Ellison’s knack for dark, psychological narratives made her the perfect match. Their goal? To create a series blending international settings, sophisticated crimes, and a charismatic lead with dual British-American roots. The result was Nicholas Drummond, a Scotland Yard star turned FBI agent, whose transatlantic perspective drives the series’ unique appeal.
The Heart of Brit in the FBI
The series kicks off with The Final Cut (2013), where Nicholas Drummond races to New York to solve the murder of his colleague and recover the stolen Koh-i-Noor diamond. Joined by Mike Caine and fan-favorite FBI agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock, Drummond chases the elusive thief known as the Fox across continents. In The Lost Key (2014), the duo investigates a Wall Street stabbing that uncovers a conspiracy tied to ancient artifacts. The End Game (2015) ramps up the stakes with a terrorist group, COE, plotting to assassinate the U.S. President, while The Last Second (2019) blends sci-fi with a rogue astronaut’s plan to unleash a nuclear EMP.
Themes of loyalty, justice, and cross-cultural teamwork shine throughout, set against exotic locales like London, New York, and Sri Lanka. The series’ style is fast-paced, with intricate plots, high-tech gadgets, and a touch of romance between Drummond and Caine. Its blend of procedural drama and global espionage appeals to readers craving both brains and adrenaline in their mysteries.
