Publisher Description
Enter a world of death and near-death that blurs the lines between fiction and reality in a way that will leave you stunned.
It takes an obsessive mind to know one. And Daniel Clark knows the elusive killer he’s been stalking. He’s devoted every waking minute as a profiler to find the serial killer known only as Eve. He’s pored over the crime scenes of sixteen young women who died mysterious deaths, all in underground basements or caverns. He’s delved into the killer's head and puzzled over the twisted religious overtones of the killings.
What Daniel can't possibly know is that he will be Eve’s next victim. He will be the killer’s first Adam. After sixteen hopeless months, the case takes a drastic turn on a very dark night when Daniel is shot and left for dead.
Resuscitated after twenty minutes of clinical death, Daniel finds himself haunted by the experience. He knows he’s seen the killer's face, but the trauma of dying has obscured the memory and left him with crushing panic attacks. Nothing—not even desperate, dangerous attempts to reexperience his own death--seems to bring him closer to finding the killer.
Then Eve strikes again, much closer to home. And Daniel's obsession explodes into a battle for his life . . . his sanity . . . his very soul.
“If you read one thriller this year—make it Adam. It’s a high-octane thriller that lays bare the battle between good and evil in a way that will stun readers.” —Lis Wiehl, legal analyst and author of Hunting Charles Manson
“The detail is stunning, pointing to meticulous research in FBI methods, forensic medicine, and psychological profiling. We have to keep telling ourselves that this is fiction. At the same time, we can’t help thinking that not only could it happen, but that it will happen if we're not careful.” —David M. Kiely and Christina McKenna, authors of The Dark Sacrament
- Fast-paced thriller with Christian themes
- Full-length, stand-alone novel from New York Times bestselling author Ted Dekker

"This was a great book. It was my first by Ted Dekker and after I bought it I was kind of afraid that it would be too much. I love action/adventure and suspenseful movies so I decided to try it. After the first page I was hooked but thought that maybe I would have to lay it down towards the end. The was not so I found that it kept me on the edge of my seat and wondering what would happen next but at no time was I afraid. I believe in Jesus and his saving power therefore I recognized the issues dealt with here and what they were but I also knew that in the end God would triumph! I loved it and will read more by Ted Dekker."

" This was a great, great book. Not only is Dekker's writing far and above most others, the plot twists and turns were layered so well I didn't see them coming, including the big reveal at the end. Very well done and highly recommended! "

" First thriller by a Christian author was good! Thanks Rachel for turning me on to him. Good book!! "
— Tricia, 1/19/2014 -
" VERY different from what Ted Dekker normally writes. This book is a dark mystery, in that you are not quite sure what is going to happen but you know you are slowly spiraling to the depths of hell. I recommend this to anyone willing to not put this book down and, for some, to get that strange feeling of the hair on the back of your neck standing up. "
