From Iris Johansen, the New York Times bestselling writer of The Search and Final Target, comes a taut, fast-paced, and terrifying psychological thriller that pushes the level of suspense to the absolute limit–and beyond. This time around forensic sculptor Eve Duncan finds herself matched against a killer who'll challenge her skill, test her courage, and threaten her family.
As a forensic sculptor, Eve Duncan deals in death every day of her life. It’s her job. And while it might seem to be macabre to some, Eve knows from personal experience that her work, giving a face and a name to the victims of violent death, helps bring closure to their families. Now that job is about to put not only her own life on the line...however the lives of everybody near her.
It starts with a call from a high-ranking government official. He wants Eve to drop everything and come to Baton Rouge to identify the remains associated with an unknown murder victim. At first, Eve wants nothing in connection with the project. She's finally found peace from her own tragic past, living a quiet life in a small lakeside cottage with Atlanta detective Joe Quinn and her adopted daughter, Jane. But a sensational group of seemingly unrelated events is about to upset all that.
Suddenly, Eve’s hard-won new world is turned ugly, and she flees to Baton Rouge to defend myself against the project of identifying the skeleton. Forced to work in secrecy, given only the sketchiest of information, Eve can’t help but wonder if the high-level security that surrounds her is intended to safeguard her–or imprison her.
She hasn’t even begun work on the reconstruction when the first death occurs. Someone totally ruthless, somebody who can strike anywhere anytime, and with seeming immunity, is determined to place a halt to her work. Soon the questions–and the threats to her own life–set out to mount as Eve realizes she has stumbled into the heart of the chilling conspiracy.
There is only one person who can give her the answers she needs. And that is the dead man himself. To survive, Eve must put her life on the line to discover the deadly secret of his identity and find out the devastating truth buried beneath a body of lies.
