When it reaches zero, you die.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen sets her readers’ pulses racing once again in this relentless psychological thriller of a young woman caught in a maze of secrets and stalked by a merciless killer. The countdown begins the moment you open this riveting novel that only grows more electrifying as the pages turn, more exciting as time runs out. . . .

“Don’t kill her. She’s no good to us dead.” These words haunt Jane MacGuire after a shocking attack shatters her world in an instant. Was it a random kidnapping attempt–or the countdown to something far more sinister?

Who is after her–and what do they want so badly they’ll kill anyone in their way? That’s what Jane is determined to find out, without the help of the police, the FBI, or her adoptive parents, forensic sculptor Eve Duncan and her husband, Joe Quinn, of the Atlanta PD–because whoever is after her won’t hesitate to hurt those she loves the most. Now Jane will go on the run with the only man who may be more dangerous than those who are pursuing her. A smuggler, a con man, and who knew what else, Mark Trevor had his own mysterious reasons for wanting to keep Jane safe and out of the hands of a killer obsessed with a two-thousand-year-old mystery that could rock the modern-day world.

Orphaned at an early age, Jane grew up the hard way, but she was given a new life, a loving family, and a chance to pursue her interest in one of the greatest archaeological finds ever unearthed. Now someone was trying to destroy that new life before it could even get started. The past is returning with the kind of vengeance that knows no mercy. The countdown has already begun, and it’s approaching zero faster than anyone thinks. Download and start listening now!

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Kristen | 1/30/2014

    " This is one compelling read that features Eve's daughter Jane into Scotland for protection. It's a good sequel from Blind Alley. Lots of suspense and good action and romance. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Alexa | 1/25/2014

    " It might well be the best of the Iris Johansen books that I've read so far, and believe me, if you like courage, determination, self-preservation, confidence, beauty and grace all in one heroine... go look for Johansen's JANE MAC'GUIRE!!! "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Gretchen | 1/23/2014

    " One of the better Eve Duncan books so far. Story revolves around Eve's adopted daughter Jane. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Lilly-Anne | 1/20/2014

    " I've ended up listening to this series backwards, starting with book 9 and working my way back. I was surprised to find that the Trevor character seems like a different person in this book. I suppose that this character has developed in later books but, I was confused for a good portion of the book. I suppose this is what happens when you read a series backwards. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Renna | 1/20/2014

    " This is a good one - but probably my least favorite of the Duncan series. "

    " WOW! So far this has been my favorite book in the series. I love reading about a strong woman who can hold her own ground. This book has two woman who fit that description. Can't wait to see where Jane is taken next and I like Trevor too. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Cindy | 4/27/2010

    " I was disappointed in the last Johansen book, but wasn't disappointed in this one. An Eve Duncan-tale but her and Joe take a back seat to their adopted, college daughter, Jane. Fast-paced, sometimes "Indiana Jonesy" but with enough twists and turns in the plot to keep me interested! "
