We will here take a look at the initial trilogy, specifically, its 1st and 3rd books in order to gain a wider perspective of the series’ beginnings.

There are currently four complete trilogies and a trilogy that will have its 3rd chapter, Hostage released on November 26th, 2013. The series, as we mentioned before, centers around a crime unit of the FBI that has agents endowed with psychic properties. Bishop / SCU - Enter Bishop and the SCUīishop / SCU is the title of a series that begun with the Shadows trilogy in 2000. Her books include not only paranormal and crime-related but also sexual encounters that are written in daringly graphic prose. Her plots are quite characteristic of the mystery genre, with readers sometimes being enthralled and sometimes appalled by the coldness of interpersonal relationships in her books. Kay Hooper is a writer with a distinctive style, which has garnered a lot of praise from readers and has repeatedly catapulted her into the New York Times bestsellers list. He can well be called the main character of the mystery series, and maintains an enigmatic presence – but is not the protagonist – in all of the books. Noah Bishop, the leader of SCU periodically spots people with paranormal abilities and asks them to work for the FBI. The unit consists of regularly trained agents with a “psychic edge” to them. Kay Hooper is chiefly known for the Bishop / Special Crimes Unit (SCU), a series which centers around a Special Crimes Unit in the FBI. Little is known of her life other than what she chooses to reveal. Kay seems to favour a solitary lifestyle, living and writing in a small North Carolina town and sharing her life with a flock of cats and two friendly dogs. Since then she has penned well over 60 novels, including some novellas. She made her literary debut with Lady Thief, which she sold to Dell Publishing in 1980. Kay and her sister Linda own an independent bookstore, Fireside Books and Gifts.

She was born in 1957 or 1958 (sources vary) in a California air force base hospital as her father was stationed there. Kay Hooper (aka Kay Robbins) is a mystery writer currently residing in North Carolina.
